The Cancer Centre is also proud to be the first London facility to offer advanced radiotherapy delivered by the Elekta Versa HD™ linear accelerator, which will come into service summer 2014. This technology has unique advantages and also reduces treatment times for patients. Versa HD offers advanced radiotherapy techniques that enable high precision treatment in managing a range of cancers in the head and neck, lung, breast and prostate. It has the ability to continually reshape the radiation beam to the fine contours of the tumour so a higher dose of radiation can be delivered. The machine was designed in collaboration with clinicians, so it is fine-tuned to the patient’s needs.

Aspen Healthcare CEO, Des Shiels, says: “Cancer Centre London (part of Aspen Healthcare) is delighted to announce a major investment in its radiotherapy service provision as part of its commitment to delivering the highest standards of care to its patients. Cancer Centre London will be the first oncology provider in London to have Elekta’s Versa HD linear accelerator. The Versa HD linear accelerator is at the cutting edge of the most recent technology in the provision of radiotherapy, and will ensure the Centre retains its position as both a pioneer and market leader.”
