treatment - radiotherapy

Patients receive high quality radiotherapy treatment at UCH for sarcomas at all body sites, for children, teenagers and adults. The new radiotherapy department, which opened in 2005, has the most up-to-date equipment and consequently is at the forefront of current radiotherapy techniques, with routine use of conformal radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), brachytherapy, and the introduction of new technologies including image fusion in radiotherapy planning, respiratory gating, and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT).
