Our treatments and services

Radiation oncology

Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays or other particles to treat cancer and can be used at all stages. Radiation therapy techniques can include: External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT), Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH), Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR), Brachytherapy, and specialised non-surgical treatment for skin cancer.

Chemotherapy

We are able to offer access to chemotherapy services via co-location at Western Private Hospital. Chemotherapy is an approach to cancer therapy which involves the administration of medicine, usually orally or by injection, which is intended to kill cancer cells or minimise their growth and spread. Chemotherapy can be used in conjunction with other cancer treatments.

Allied health services

At GenesisCare, Footscray we are able to discuss and help refer you to a range of appropriate allied health support services. We offer access to a Prostate Cancer Care Nurse, for prostate cancer patients. We recommend speaking to your treatment team about available support services.
