Radiotherapy

Private patients are able to receive radiotherapy treatment on state of the art equipment offering the latest technology to include Intensity  Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Image Guided Radiotherapy Treatment (IGRT), and Rapid ARC technology. 

We also offer High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy, treating patients on both an outpatient or  inpatient basis.  This type of radiotherapy is the treatment of choice for some types of cancer.  Our Cyberknife system offers patients the very latest in cancer treatment technology. The system provides a non-invasive alternative to surgery for those who suffer from tumors and other medical conditions.
