About the Company

Varian

Tech-enabled radiation oncology hardware and software

Varian, part of Siemens Healthineers, focuses on oncology by providing integrated radiation oncology solutions that combine software, hardware, patient data, and care teams. Its offerings include treatment-planning software, radiation therapy machines, and data-management systems that work together to enable precise cancer treatments. The company differentiates itself through an integrated platform approach and services like Oncology-as-a-Service (OaaS), which lets healthcare providers adopt advanced radiation oncology with ongoing service support rather than large upfront investments. Varian serves healthcare providers such as hospitals and cancer centers, helping them deliver coordinated care and improve patient outcomes. Its goal is to reduce the fear of cancer by using data and technology to support clinicians in delivering effective treatments.
