Doctor says stereotactic radiotherapy at the NI Cancer Centre can more precisely target tumours.
According to statistics, stereotactic radiotherapy has improved the control rate of early-stage lung cancer from 50% using standard radiotherapy to 85%.Specialist radiotherapy equipment at the Northern Ireland Cancer Centre has increased the chances of curing the disease in some patients, according to its clinical director for oncology.Prof Gerry Hanna said this targets the tumour with more precision than conventional radiotherapy.
"This allows us to increase the chances of curing that cancer because the dose that we use is much higher and safer than what was previously used." SABR treatment is non-invasive for patients with localised and secondary tumours and especially for those with lung cancer who cannot undergo surgery.Jennings Moffett, 79, who is attending the cancer centre, said the treatment has "kept him alive".He said the diagnosis scared him but attending the cancer centre has given him peace of mind.
