  "account": "NovoCure reported record quarterly net revenue of $193 million for Q3 2026, signaling strong adoption of its Optune devices across glioblastoma and non-small cell lung cancer treatments. CFO Christoph Brackmann highlighted the company's progress towards sustainable profitability, with adjusted EBITDA positivity achieved in the quarter. CEO Frank Leonard revealed commercial expansion in Japan for Optune Lua, which generated $4 million in revenue despite slower prescribing growth for Optune Pax due to insurance appeals and competing drugs. NovoCure revised its full-year revenue guidance to $736 million to $743 million, citing pricing discipline and efficiency gains as the company nears profitability. Exec Chairman William F. Doyle emphasized sustained execution of upcoming regulatory decisions and international launches as key drivers for continued growth in 2027.",
