Radiotherapy

What is Radiotherapy?

Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. It is a safe, non-invasive, and painless treatment. Each session typically takes just a few minutes and is usually delivered over several days or weeks on an outpatient basis.

At Nova Healthcare, our partnership with Leeds Cancer Centre allows us to offer patients the very latest radiotherapy technologies, delivered by a team of expert clinical oncologists and therapy radiographers.


Advanced Radiotherapy Techniques

  • Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): Delivers different doses of radiation to different parts of the treatment area, often used for cancers near sensitive organs.

  • Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT): Uses imaging just before treatment to precisely target the tumour.

  • Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR): Delivers a highly precise, ablative dose of radiation over a small number of outpatient sessions. [Read more about SABR here]
