Radiotherapy

We believe we are the first in the UK to offer USA standards of cancer care and treatment techniques. This means we have invested in 50% more of the most advanced planning and treatment equipment, so you can be treated more quickly than ever before and receive the best possible opportunity to beat cancer.

The wide spectrum of technology we offer includes:

• CT (Computerised Tomotherapy)
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
• PET (Positron Emission Tomography) all providing high-precision treatment planning.
• IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy) – a very advanced type of radiotherapy treatment, individually tailored for patients with complex cancers affecting areas such as the brain, liver, thyroid and bones.

We are the only cancer centre in the UK with a full range of the latest radiotherapy equipment, including the first ever Primatom machines in the country and one of the very first TomoTherapy® machines available in the NHS. Using sophisticated scanning techniques these revolutionary machines design highly complex radiotherapy treatment  plans allowing us to treat previously untreatable cancers and, for the first time, more than one tumour at once. 

This high precision treatment also means the healthy tissue around the tumour is kept that way as far as possible, and there are fewer unpleasant side effects.
