Welsh Clinic Pioneers New Cancer~Fighting Facility
... Rutherford Cancer Centre has now taken delivery of a key component for activating the UK's first high-energy proton beam machine at its South East Wales clinic in Newport, Monmouthshire.
According to Mr Mike Moran, the Chief Executive of Proton Partners International (PPI), the new equipment - "the most strategic health project to arrive in for decades" - is capable of targeting difficult to reach cancers, such as spinal tumours, thereby, in turn, minimising damage to surrounding tissues ... as well as causing fewer side effects than conventional radiotherapy.
It is expected to become operational at the Newport Centre within the next year or so, and should, eventually, eliminate the current need to send patients abroad for treatment.
