Radiation therapy for cancer
Radiation therapy, also called Radiotherapy kills cancer cells. It’s used in the early stages of cancer treatment or after it has started to spread. It can also be used to try to relieve pain and discomfort from cancer that has spread. Around half of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy.
Destroying cancer cells
There are many ways to have radiation therapy, but they all work in a similar way. Carefully controlled high-energy X-rays destroy or damage cancer cells. This stops them growing or spreading. Radiation therapy is usually delivered in daily intervals called ‘Fractions’. This allows time between treatments for the healthy cells to repair and the cancer cells to die off.
Advanced radiation therapy services
At GenesisCare, we’re always pushing the boundaries of technology to develop better radiation therapy treatments. We are better targeting the cancer cells in tumours and reducing the side effects to surrounding tissue.
What we believe
Treatment is at the core of all that we do, along with a belief that you should have access to the best possible treatments available, when and where you need it most.

- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
