PAXMAN receives order for 10 scalp cooling systems for the Italian market.
Paxman’s global partner for Italy, Praesidia s.r.l., has placed an order for 10 PSCS2 model Paxman Scalp Cooling systems to fulfil demand for scalp cooling from Institute G. Pascale in Naples.
The hospital will be a brand new user of Paxman Scalp Cooling and the 10 devices, which each treat 2 patients simultaneously, will allow their clinical teams to offer the option of scalp cooling to all appropriate cancer patients.
The rate of cancer for both men and women in Italy is an estimated 290.6 per 100,000 of population and the country has the highest survival rates for several types of cancer five years after diagnosis than in the rest of the European Union on average.
Since joining Paxman’s network of global partners in 2011 Praesidia have installed 91 Paxman scalp cooling systems in hospital cancer centres throughout Italy.
