This investment comes on the back of a number of Icon Group announcements including expansion into Hong Kong, with the acquisition of SunTech Medical Group, and the build of a fully integrated cancer center at Mt Alvernia Hospital, Singapore. This state-of-the-art center will be equipped with a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator and the first on the island to use HyperArc™ technology. This center will become Varian's regional training hub for radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapists in the Asia-Pacific region.
Icon continues to play a paramount role in the development of radiation oncology treatments and has been an early adopter of technologies, including the first in Australasia to install the Varian Halcyon radiotherapy system and first in Australia to install and treat with HyperArc technology – benefitting patients with multiple tumors in the brain. Icon Group is also a member of the Varian Adaptive Intelligence Consortium, alongside other peak international bodies, to collaboratively develop clinical and technical aspects of Ethos therapy and wider radiation therapy treatments and techniques that will continue to evolve cancer care.

"Being a member of the consortium will allow us to contribute to the ongoing development of Ethos therapy, which will be of great benefit to patients across the world," Mr. Middleton said.
Icon and Varian will work together to implement this technology package and have it operational over the next 12 months across the Group's cancer centers in Australia, Singapore and China.
"Through our international network of clinicians and care teams and our innovative treatment solutions and investment in technology, we are equipped to bring more care to more people, closer to where they live, and make a lasting difference to millions of cancer patients," Mr. Middleton said.
