GenesisCare has expanded its adaptive radiotherapy network with the installation of an MR-linac at its Guildford centre in Surrey.
The company already operates MRI-guided radiotherapy facilities in Oxford and London, with the first opening in Oxford in 2019. Since then, more than 2,000 patients have been treated using the technology, which combines MRI imaging with a linear accelerator to adjust radiation delivery in real time according to changes in a patient’s anatomy.
The system is used for complex cancers, including inoperable pancreatic, lung and abdominal tumours, and can be used to treat multiple secondary tumours at the same time. It can also deliver repeat radiotherapy for recurrent cancers.
Dr Sheena Khanduri, chief medical officer at GenesisCare, said: ‘By using the technology’s ability to provide live images of both the tumour and normal tissue, we can create a new treatment plan every day based on the patient’s anatomy. This gives our clinicians the confidence to deliver high dose radiotherapy with exquisite precision, whilst minimising side effects, thereby improving patient outcomes.’
GenesisCare operates 14 cancer treatment centres in the UK, with a 15th scheduled to open in Leeds in 2026.
