LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings (NASDAQ: LIXT), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, recently acquired Liora Technologies, which is pioneering proton therapy systems for treating tumors in various types of cancers. “Liora is becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of LIXTE, and the acquisition also includes Liora’s proprietary flagship technology, the LiGHT System (Linac for Image Guided Hadron Therapy), which offers many advantages over other technologies that are currently available for treating tumors with proton therapy,” reads an article discussing the move.
“The highly adaptable LiGHT System provides a proton beam allowing the delivery of very high dose rates to deep-seated tumors,” said Professor Steve Myers, the former Director of Accelerators and Technology at CERN. “In addition to the unique biological effects, it will also greatly reduce the installation cost and the number of treatment sessions needed, compared to current technologies, and is expected to significantly increase the number of patients that a treatment center can serve. “
