How we treat cancer at IconHow we treat cancer at Icon
-
Radiation Therapy (Radiotherapy)
Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is the use of radiation to safely treat and manage cancer. Radiation oncologists use radiation to eradicate cancer cells, reduce their growth or relieve symptoms of cancer.
DID YOU KNOW?
Regardless of whether you choose to receive public or private treatment, no private health insurance is required for valid Medicare card holders to receive radiation therapy in Australia. Radiation oncology is funded by Medicare with up to 90% of the fee covered by Medicare including from the Medicare Safety Nets. This means out of pocket cost may be as little as 10% of the total cost to receive radiation therapy at a private centre such as Icon Cancer Centre, depending on your circumstances.
-
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells. Many different kinds of chemotherapy medicines and treatment plans are available.
-
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy, or biologic therapy, is a type of treatment that uses your own immune system to fight cancer.
-
Hormone Therapy
Hormone therapy (also known as endocrine therapy) focuses on depriving cancer cells of the specific hormones that feed them.
-
Targeted Therapies
Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that targets a patient’s own specific type and stage of cancer. Targeted therapies concentrate on the difference between healthy cells and cancer cells, and interfere with the specific molecules in the cancer cells that tell them to grow and spread.
-
Theranostics
Theranostics is a personalised form of cancer treatment that combines diagnostic imaging to identify a person’s cancer cells and targeted therapy to treat their cancer. It aims to slow the growth and spread of cancer, relieve symptoms and maintain or improve quality of life. Theranostics may be considered for people with advanced cancer, when standard treatment options are unsuitable or no longer effective and symptoms are affecting quality of life.
“No matter what treatment or who was supporting me from the Icon team, there is a calm, reassuring and supportive attitude from all staff members.
The constant information and attention to detail meant I felt confident to get through whatever challenges arose.”

Receiving treatment at IconReceiving treatment at Icon
1. Your first appointment
At the first appointment, you will meet with your experienced oncologist who will talk you through your diagnosis and treatment plan. Whether you’re accessing radiation oncology, medical oncology or a combination of both, they will address any concerns and questions you may have. Your oncologist will continue to care for you throughout your entire treatment and beyond.
2. Before starting treatment
Further to your initial appointment, one of our experienced care team will take some time to discuss your treatment, what to expect, possible treatment side effects and how to manage them. They will also chat about possible anxiety you and your family might be feeling. Our team works together with your oncologist to ensure your care is truly tailored to your needs and those of your loved ones.
3. Starting treatment
The length of your appointment and cycle depends on the treatment being given. Throughout your treatment and beyond, your doctor and care team are here to monitor your progress, address your side effects and listen to any concerns or fears you may have. Never be afraid to seek clarity and reassurance to ensure you are confident in your treatment and choices.
