City Cancer Challenge Foundation

Icon partners with the City Cancer Challenge Foundation (C/Can), to support their mission to improve access to quality cancer treatment in LMIC’s around the world. Icon business leaders, medical and clinical experts provide their knowledge and skills to C/Can projects focussed on designing, planning and implementation of effective cancer care solutions.

Union for International Cancer Control

Icon is a Champion of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) – the largest international cancer membership organisation in the world. This partnership enables Icon Group to add our voice to the global cancer care conversation and provide valuable development opportunities to our employees. Icon’s relationship with UICC has also continued to enrich professional development opportunities, including the annual Middleton Scholarship.

Varian Medical Systems

In 2016, Icon Group announced the largest confirmed order in Australian history for world leading radiation therapy technology, confirming an investment in excess of $50 million USD for ten TrueBeam linear accelerators and all associated software and services with Varian Medical Systems of Palo Alto, California. Varian is the world’s leading manufacturer of medical devices and software for treating cancer and other medical conditions with radiation.

Two years later, Icon and Varian marked another important milestone when Icon became the first in Australia to offer Varian HyperArc™. This advanced, fully-automated technology system enables clinicians to precisely target multiple tumours within the brain with high doses of radiation therapy while ensuring limited doses to surrounding healthy brain tissue.

In late 2019, Icon became the first in the Southern Hemisphere to introduce Varian’s Ethos therapy. Ethos therapy is an innovative new solution designed to deliver customised and optimised radiation treatment for patients. What this means is every radiation treatment adapts to changes in the patient’s internal or external anatomy, taking pinpoint precise radiation to a new level. This is complemented by Icon’s role as a member of the Varian Adaptive Intelligence Consortium, working alongside other peak international bodies to develop clinical and technical aspects of Ethos technology and wider radiation therapy treatments.

China Anti-Cancer Association

Over the next two years, the cancer burden in Mainland China will increase by 70%. Icon Group is addressing this burden via Australian expertise and cutting-edge techniques to help meet the growing need for quality cancer care.

Icon is a proud partner of the China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA), a non-governmental organisation dedicated to the prevention and treatment of cancer. Icon works alongside CACA both in Mainland China and Australia to provide bespoke training packages for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in Mainland China and continue to build relationships with the Australian Chinese community.
