Overview
Welcome to GenesisCare, Campbelltown, a purpose-built cancer centre providing integrated oncology care including radiation therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Located within the Campbelltown health precinct, our centre brings cancer care services together in one location, supporting patients across Campbelltown, South West Sydney and the Southern Highlands. Our multidisciplinary team delivers evidence-based care using modern technology, with access to on-site imaging, pathology and allied health services to support patients throughout treatment.
Our treatments and services
Radiation oncology
Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to treat cancer and can be used across many stages of care. Techniques available include:
- External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
- Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)
- Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR)
- Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH)
- Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
and non-surgical treatment options for skin cancer and selected benign conditions.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy involves the use of medication, given orally or by injection, to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. It may be used alongside other cancer treatments.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy helps the body’s immune system recognise and fight cancer. Different types are used depending on the cancer being treated.
Haematology
Haematology focuses on conditions affecting the blood, including blood cancers and bleeding disorders. Specialist care is provided as part of a multidisciplinary team, with access to coordinated treatment where required.
Clinical trials
Advancing patient outcomes in the future is just as important to us as caring for patients today. Where appropriate, patients at GenesisCare, Campbelltown may be able to access the GenesisCare global network of clinical trials. For further information on clinical trial participation, please speak with your treating doctor.
Allied health services
Patients have access to a range of allied health services, tailored to support them throughout treatment. Your care team will guide you on appropriate services, which may include:
- A full range of advanced diagnostic imaging services provided by Lumus Imaging (extended hours and Saturday availability);
