At Varian, we are working towards enabling a world without fear of cancer, where high- quality cancer care—personalised for each patient and optimised according to the evolving global standard of care—is available everywhere, from regional towns to capital cities. In that world, technology connects clinicians and patients into a learning system that is fueled by information, driven by collaboration and accelerated by artificial intelligence (AI) to improve outcomes.

Why Intelligence Matters

With newly diagnosed cases expected to nearly double by 2030 worldwide, cancer may be on the rise, but survivorship is also increasing due to earlier diagnosis, enhanced treatments and growing elderly populations.  

A new, advanced, more intelligent level of care matters now more than ever. Cancer care that’s streamlined, comprehensive, fully-integrated, and makes care more accessible—bringing people, technology, and data together to inspire the next generation of healthcare delivery.

With new technologies and advancements, Intelligent Cancer Care is our attempt to continually broaden the scope of our advances so that doctors and their patients receive what they need to successfully fight cancer. Our approach to Intelligent Cancer Care™ rests on three pillars: 1) personalised treatment, 2) access to enhanced standards of care, and 3) use of evidence-based insights in clinical decision-making. A focus on these pillars has led to solutions that can:

  • Automate routine or repetitive tasks in the cancer care workflow through the use of smart algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI),
  • Facilitate collaboration across sites and specialties, and
  • Adapt to new information in a learning system that continues to improve.

Personalised Treatment

No two cancer patients are the same. So their treatments should not be the same. With Intelligent Cancer Care, we’re forging a new, smarter path to personalised cancer treatment—enabling cross-functional collaboration between care teams and helping deliver a level of personally-tailored care that follows patients along their entire cancer journey.

Access to Advanced Care

We envision a world where every cancer patient has direct access to the highest quality treatment plans, clinical expertise, and advanced, proven technologies available—no matter where they live, whether that is Taree or the Sydney CBD. Intelligent Cancer Care is helping us tap into the skills and resources we need to empower you to enhance outcomes and touch more patients in every corner of the globe.

Data-Driven Insights

Intelligent Cancer Care enables us to pull data from varied sources and locations into an engine of intelligence. An engine that allows clinical teams to make faster, accurate, and more confident data-driven decisions—time and time again.

At Varian, for over 70 years, we’ve been committed to creating simpler, fully integrated, and more intelligent ways for clinical teams to fight cancer. As a global leader in developing and delivering multidisciplinary cancer care solutions, our strategy is to put cancer patients at the center of our thinking as we work to build an ecosystem of intelligent products and services designed to help clinicians solve the biggest challenges facing the world’s cancer-fighting community.
