What is it for?
Treating bladder cancer
Adaptive radiotherapy for bladder cancer consultation at The London Clinic
Your consultant will define three radiation treatment volumes, using a small, medium and large target area.
The Radiation Dosimetrists will carefully produce an individualised treatment plan for each. A scan is performed each day on the treatment machine to determine the size of the bladder immediately before treatment.
This allows our radiographers to choose the most appropriate plan to be treated that day.
Bladder Cancer Specialists at The London Clinic Treatment Superintendent of Radiotherapy, Matthew Clark, was part of the group that launched the new adaptive radiotherapy service, which was led by Consultant Clinical Oncologist, Simon Hughes.
Your treatment will be discussed and planned at a multidisciplinary team meeting. Complementary therapy, counselling and an extensive physiotherapy service is also available at The London Clinic.
