A diagnosis can leave you with difficult questions and a great deal to take in.
Before discussing treatment, we take the time to listen.
Your first consultation is about you: your concerns, your questions and what matters most to you.
We explain what radiosurgery could achieve in your case and where its limitations lie. If we believe another treatment would be more appropriate, we will say so. You will have the information you need to make a decision you feel comfortable with.
Our experienced team supports you from your first enquiry through to follow-up. We involve the doctors already looking after you from the outset and keep them informed throughout, ensuring continuity of care at every stage.
Modern radiosurgery delivers highly focused radiation to benign and malignant tumours, treating the tumour while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. No surgery is required.
CyberKnife and ZAP-X direct radiation beams at the tumour from multiple angles, delivering a precisely targeted dose while sparing surrounding healthy tissue as far as possible. CyberKnife can also track tumour motion during treatment, including movement caused by breathing, and adjust the beams accordingly.
We will discuss whether radiosurgery is appropriate for you, explain the options and give you a clear, individual assessment.
Send us your medical reports and imaging, such as CT, MRI or PET/CT scans. Our specialists will review your case to assess whether radiosurgery may be appropriate. If CyberKnife or ZAP-X treatment is a possible option, we will arrange a consultation without delay.
We take the time to discuss your diagnosis, explain the available treatments and answer your questions. You can expect clear information, an open discussion and an honest assessment of your options.
Accurate planning is essential to effective treatment. Our clinicians and medical physicists develop an individual plan that defines the radiation dose and its precise delivery, taking account of the tumour and nearby healthy structures.
Radiosurgical treatment with the robotic treatment system is painless and non-invasive. You lie comfortably on the treatment couch in a relaxed environment and may remain in your normal clothing. A treatment session usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes.
Before you leave, we explain what to expect after treatment and discuss your follow-up care in detail. We remain in close contact with you and your doctors. Our commitment to your wellbeing and quality of life continues long after treatment has finished.
We target the tumour while aiming to preserve as much healthy kidney tissue and function as possible.
Preserving lung function is a priority. We carefully plan treatment to minimise the radiation dose to healthy lung tissue.
The location of the tumour and your liver function are key to choosing the right treatment. We assess both carefully before making a recommendation.
We aim to control the tumour while protecting the spinal cord and nerves, helping to preserve your mobility.
We take time to discuss your concerns and plan treatment with you, giving your quality of life the attention it deserves.
Even tumours close to delicate structures may be suitable for radiosurgery, allowing treatment without open surgery.
If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, we assess carefully whether targeted treatment could be appropriate for you.
We work in partnership with you throughout your patient's treatment. Referrals are assessed promptly, you have a dedicated contact, and you receive a structured report once treatment is complete.
