Through this acquisition, ASHS aims to expand its US footprint.

ASHS executive chairman Ray Stachowiak said: “This is a milestone agreement for our Company that, upon closing, would expand our footprint of owned and operated radiation oncology centres into the US.

“If consummated, the transaction would add three new revenue streams that we expect would be accretive to our base, and we believe, is an effective use of our capital.

“Most importantly, our ownership would preserve the offering of radiation therapy services at the Landmark, Roger Williams and Maddock Centers and will ensure that patients have continued access to high-quality radiation therapy both for those under treatment today, and for those who will require treatment in the future.”
