Five-day radiotheraphy for prostate cancer
Recent advances in radiotherapy technology means patients with prostate cancer can now be treated in as little as five days over the course of one week, instead of the standard 20-39 radiotherapy sessions over many weeks.
Patients having their prostate cancer treatment over a shorter period, can return to their day-to-day life much quicker.
My prostate cancer was fully treated in just 5 days at GenesisCare, with radiotherapy on the innovative MRIdian and I went straight back to normal life.
