Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other particles to treat cancer. It can be used at different stages of treatment, either on its own or alongside other treatments.

- External beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
- Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)

Radiotherapy for benign conditions
We offer specialised, non-invasive radiation therapy techniques for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer and some benign conditions. These may include osteoarthritis, Dupuytren’s disease, keloid scars, Ledderhose disease and ectopic bone.
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses medicines, usually taken orally or given by injection, to kill cancer cells or slow their growth and spread. It may be used on its own or in combination with other cancer treatments.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a type of treatment designed to help your own immune system recognise and fight cancer. There are different types of immunotherapy, which work in different ways depending on the cancer type.
Haematology is the medical specialty that focuses on conditions affecting the blood and blood-forming organs, including blood cancers. A haematologist provides specialist care for patients with blood disorders or blood cancers and may prescribe chemotherapy as part of treatment. They may also refer patients to other specialists within the multidisciplinary team, such as a radiation oncologist, if radiotherapy is recommended.
