Radiation oncology

• Precise radiation therapy treatment for all cancer types using a state-of-the-art Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator
• Adaptive Therapy using Ethos – An advanced technique which uses the latest in radiation therapy technology to adapt radiation treatment each day to changes in the shape and size of the targeted cancer and daily natural movements in surrounding healthy organs
• Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) – A technique for breast cancer patients that reduces the potential impact of radiation on the heart
• HyperArc – An advanced technique that precisely target multiple intra-cranial metastases with high doses of radiation whilst minimising doses to surrounding healthy brain tissue
• Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) – A technique that utilises advanced imaging equipment and computer software (including MRI, CT and x-ray) to precisely target a tumour with radiation beams
• Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – A technique that delivers high dose radiation therapy to cancerous tumours, while limiting the impact of radiation on healthy surrounding tissue
• Stereotactic Radiation Therapy – An advanced technique that delivers pinpoint precise radiation therapy to treat small tumours with well-defined edges, including tumours that have spread from a primary cancer
• Skin brachytherapy using the Esteya system – A non-invasive, superficial radiation therapy treatment for early non-melanoma skin cancer
• Volumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy (VMAT) – A technique that delivers radiation therapy beams in a series of arcs or angles by a rotating machine to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour
