Cancer treatment specialists

Our cancer treatments and technologies aim for the most effective treatment with minimal damage or side-effects.

Designing better care for those with cancer

We believe care should be focused on you, the individual, not the condition. We believe care should be available when and where you need it most.

We offer the latest technology and advanced techniques to treat your cancer. Our specialist network is made up of highly skilled professionals, who live and breathe our purpose – to design care experiences that get you best possible life outcomes.

We provide radiation therapy for more people in Australia, the UK and Spain than any other care provider. Across our global network we carry out more than 350,000 radiation therapy treatments every year.

We continue to invest in developing new integrated cancer centres around Australia.  Our vision is to provide integrated cancer services to enhance our care and bring further facilities to rural and remote locations, reducing the burden on patients to travel to metropolitan areas.

FAQs

What other people ask – helpful questions and answers

While radiation therapy can be used on its own to manage cancer, it is often more effective when it’s combined with other treatments.

This is because different treatments target cancer via different pathways. For example:

  • External beam radiation therapy can be applied before surgery to shrink a tumour, making it easier to remove
  • External beam radiation therapy can be given after surgery to get rid of any microscopic disease that remains
  • When radiation therapy is combined with chemotherapy, cancer cells can become more sensitive to the radiation.

This makes the radiation treatment more effective in killing cancer cells and improves the result.

Combining these treatments also treats the whole body – whereas radiation therapy only focuses on the cancer area. By treating the whole body, the therapy is helping to get rid of any disease that may be present in other parts of the body.

Deciding the type of approach to your treatment will depend on your specific condition and overall health – and you will decide on this with your medical team.

Your radiation oncologist will recommend the treatment that’s best suited to treat your condition.

Side effects do exist, and they vary from person to person.

The most common side effects are tiredness and skin changes. Other side effects depend on the part of your body being treated.

Your radiation oncologist and nurse will explain the side effects specific to your treatment area. They will also give you advice on how to manage these and look after yourself during treatment.

Not at all. Radiation therapy is painless. In fact, you don’t see or feel the actual treatment. Most people continue with their usual daily routine during the treatment course.

Our aim is to make treatment affordable for all patients. Visit our payments page to find our more.

At GenesisCare we understand the unique healthcare needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. For more information on how we can offer you support during your cancer treatment visit our Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander health page.

Caring for a loved one with cancer comes with a lot of responsibilities. We’re here to help you with these challenges. To help you manage, we’ve put together information about many of the supportive roles carers take on.

Dealing with loss can be a challenging and difficult time. We’ve prepared a page to help you understand how you may be feeling in the days and weeks after a loss.

What can you expect?

A cancer diagnosis is one of the most difficult things you’ll ever have to deal with. A million thoughts, worries and scenarios will be running through your mind. It’s totally normal to feel like that. But you’re not alone.
