MRI-guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a highly precise, high-dose form of radiotherapy delivered using an MR Linac system.

An MR Linac combines a radiotherapy machine with built-in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allowing tumours to be seen and targeted with exceptional accuracy while helping to protect surrounding healthy tissue and reduce side effects.

This enables clinicians to deliver highly focused treatment that can often be completed in just a few sessions.

Pancreatic cancer can be challenging to treat because the pancreas sits close to vital organs. The MR Linac allows the tumour to be precisely targeted while helping to reduce the impact on surrounding healthy tissue.

Prostate cancer is often slow-growing and highly treatable. The MR Linac delivers precise radiotherapy to the prostate, helping to reduce side effects while maintaining effective treatment outcomes.

Kidney cancer is commonly treated with surgery, to remove part of the kidney. The MR Linac provides a non-invasive alternative, precisely targeting the tumour while helping to protect healthy kidney tissue and preserve kidney function

Liver cancer can be difficult to target because the liver moves as you breathe. Real-time imaging with the MR Linac tracks this movement, ensuring treatment remains accurate throughout each session.

Lung tumours can move during breathing, which makes precision especially important. The MR Linac allows treatment to adapt in real time, helping to target the tumour accurately while reducing exposure to nearby healthy tissue.

Rectal cancer develops in a confined area of the pelvis, close to the bowel, bladder and other sensitive organs. Advanced radiotherapy with the MR Linac helps target the tumour accurately while reducing the impact on nearby healthy tissue

Lymphoma is very sensitive to radiotherapy making it an effective treatment for gastric MALT lymphoma, which can be a curable disease when detected at an early stage. 

Cervical cancer requires precise treatment in a sensitive area of the pelvis. The MR Linac helps target the tumour accurately while protecting nearby organs and reducing the risk of side effects.

GenesisCare was the first independent healthcare provider in the UK to introduce the MR Linac. Our teams have treated thousands of patients using this technology across a wide range of cancers, delivering exceptional experiences and outcomes for patients.

Your treatment is planned and delivered by the UK’s leading cancer specialists. Our multidisciplinary team review every case in detail, ensuring it’s appropriate and tailored to you. This approach supports safe, evidence-based decisions at every stage.

Patients often tell us the biggest benefits are feeling more in control, spending less time in treatment and experiencing fewer side effects, while still receiving effective cancer care.

You can access precision treatment using the MR Linac at our centres in Surrey, Oxford and at Cromwell Hospital in London, with patients travelling from across the UK for care.

Don’t worry if you don’t live on our doorstep – we’ll help you with transport depending on treatment and locations when required.

We’re recognised by all major insurers, with self-pay options also available.

Your cancer specialist can refer you for a consultation to discuss whether MRI-guided radiotherapy on the MR Linac is suitable for you.

The MR Linac combines two advanced technologies into one system:

• An MRI scanner that provides detailed, real-time images
• A radiotherapy beam that targets the tumour with precision

Together, these technologies allow clinicians to deliver MRI-guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), adapting treatment in real time to account for movement and changes in the body.

Every stage of your treatment is carefully planned around you, designed to deliver high-precision radiotherapy while keeping the experience as straightforward and manageable as possible.
