What Radiation Oncology Treatment Options Are Offered at Chase Lodge Hospital?

Radiation therapy is a pivotal treatment for cancer, used either alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. Thanks to the sophisticated techniques employed in our department, we are able to provide high-tech targeted therapy with minimal side effects while maximising effectiveness.

External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT):

External Beam Radiation Therapy ( EBRT ) is the most common and effective radiation treatment, often destroying tumours using high-powered X-rays from outside the body.

  • How It Helps: It precisely targets cancer cells while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
  • Timelines: Treatment can last from 2 to 8 weeks, with daily sessions depending on the type and stage of cancer.
  • Why Choose Us: We use Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and the latest 3D treatment planning to reduce side effects and improve accuracy.

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT):

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy ( IMRT ) is a technologically advanced form of radiation therapy that adjusts the intensity of radiation to match the size and shape of the tumour, sparing nearby organs.

  • How It Helps: Particularly effective for tumours in critical areas such as the brain, head, neck, or prostate.
  • Timelines: Treatment typically lasts 5-8 weeks, with each session taking 10-30 minutes.
  • Why Choose Us: Our state-of-the-art IMRT technology ensures precise radiation delivery, minimising risks to surrounding tissues.

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT):

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy ( SBRT ) delivers higher doses of radiation in fewer sessions, focusing on the tumour while sparing healthy tissues.

  • How It Helps: Highly effective for lung, liver, prostate, and spinal tumours.
  • Timelines: Treatment is completed in just 1-5 sessions over 1-2 weeks.
  • Why Choose Us: Our advanced SBRT protocols make it one of the most effective and accurate cancer treatment options available in London.

Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation Therapy):

Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation Therapy) involves placing radioactive sources directly in or near the tumour, delivering targeted treatment while sparing surrounding tissues.

  • How It Helps: Minimises adverse effects on nearby structures while effectively treating the tumour.
  • Timelines: The procedure varies depending on the type of cancer and may be completed in a single session or over several weeks.
  • Why Choose Us: We offer both high-dose rate (HDR) and low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy, ensuring a fully personalised treatment plan for each patient.
