Proton beam therapy is an advanced form of external radiotherapy that uses high-energy proton beams instead of photon x-ray beams or electrons. Carefully measured doses of protons are delivered to the precise area needing treatment, using the latest IBA ProteusONE technology. This ensures that the delivery of proton beam therapy is highly accurate and prevents the risk of radiation reaching surrounding healthy tissue.
Radiotherapy is used to kill and destroy cancer cells. It utilises radiation in the form of high-energy x-rays, known as photons, to kill and damage the cancerous cells and prevent their growth and reproduction. It can be used as a non-surgical option to treat cancer, and it can also be used to shrink a tumour or in combination with other treatments.
We provide a chemotherapy treatment service that offers you both choice and flexibility. Chemotherapy is the use of cytotoxic (anti-cancer) drugs to destroy cancer cells in the body by disrupting the cancer cells and preventing them from growing and dividing.
One of our team will be in touch shortly.
Our patients are at the heart of what we do, and we endeavour to provide every one of our patients a comfortable and welcoming environment to receive treatment. The Rutherford Cancer Centre North West is currently under construction but, once complete, will offer the latest advanced cancer treatment technologies including access to imaging, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Proton beam therapy will be coming to the North West from early 2020.
