A lot of the preparation for a Gamma Knife radiosurgery treatment is undertaken by your specialist radiotherapy team to ensure that your treatment is as effective, comfortable and comprehensive as is safely possible. In terms of radiotherapy treatments, Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery is one of the oldest, one of the most precise and one of the most effective […]
A comprehensive cancer treatment neither begins nor ends with the course of radiotherapy, and a private clinic will often provide a comprehensive group of primary treatments as well as therapeutic support, advice and a specialist focus on day-to-day care. Because of this, cancer treatment typically begins from the moment a test, screen, biopsy or set of […]
The private cancer treatment we offer is always geared toward the needs of the individual, which goes beyond simply offering various approaches for different types of cancer. Everybody is different due to factors such as age, genetics and family history. This can mean the way cancer manifests in one patient has some differences to that of […]
In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) represent more than just a financial model—they serve as a cornerstone for innovation, increased access, and long-term sustainability. Amethyst Healthcare Group, under the leadership of CEO Stéphane Carré, is championing this approach. In a recent interview with The CEO Magazine, Carré detailed how Amethyst is strategically […]
Treating a brain tumour is a comprehensive process for which success is based on the primary treatment pathway at a radiotherapy centre, as well as the work of the multidisciplinary team before, during and after a course of treatment. The role of the multidisciplinary team (MDT), is not only to shape the primary treatment and provide clear, […]
There are many conditions for which people seek private radiotherapy, but tumours are among the most serious. However, the degree of severity and the symptoms they produce can depend on a wide range of factors. Among these are, chiefly, whether they are benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), but other factors will include the location of origin, […]
Treatment at a radiotherapy centre does not start nor end with the radiosurgical procedures themselves, but is instead part of a complete, holistic package of care. Radiotherapists work as part of a multidisciplinary team in planning treatments, physiotherapists, nutritional experts and psychologists are there to help during the preparation for a course of radiotherapy, and aftercare is similarly […]
The impact that radiotherapy treatment can have on brain tumours can be transformational for patients. In malignant (cancerous) treatments they can extend life considerably, especially if the diagnosis is an early one, while in the best cases, benign (non-cancerous) tumours may be either rendered almost harmless or removed altogether. Radiotherapy may in some cases be carried out […]
March is one of the most important months of the year for radiotherapy centres which specialise in treatments such as Gamma Knife, as Brain Tumour Awareness Month focuses on doing everything possible to prevent, treat and diagnose brain tumours. Initially launched in 2004 as a collective effort by several brain tumour charities later known as Brain Tumour […]
One of the most effective and advanced treatment resources for brain tumours and vascular malformations is Gamma Knife radiosurgery, which first came to the fore during the 1960s and which has continued to evolve quickly ever since. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) over the last year or so, new and exciting opportunities are […]
