The Targeted Radiotherapy Appeal, which needs to raise £600,000, will enable the hospital to equip the new Radiotherapy Suite which is currently under construction, and will significantly improve the cancer services for local patients who currently have to travel to London or Cambridge for a particular type of radiotherapy, called brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy is the targeted placement of radiotherapy inside or near a tumour, which can reduce the length of treatment required, and reduces the possibility of long term side effects for patients.
