The Harley Street Clinic in London is currently in the process of setting up the UK’s first Cyberknife Centre. The centre is due to open in the Autumn of 2008. The Harley Street Clinic, one of HCA International’s six acute hospitals in the capital, is teaming up with London’s leading cancer experts to create a new world class treatment centre in the heart of London’s medical district.
The Cyberknife machine is part of a £15million development programme for the Harley Street Clinic and will be based in Harley Street at the world renowned cancer centre.
The Clinical Director of the new centre is oncologist Dr Nick Plowman. He says of Cyberknife “the linking of several technologies from CT and PET scanning with an accelerator head that can move with the patients every breath, means tumours can be targeted with greater accuracy than was previously possible. This machine has shown remarkable results over its years of use in the US and elsewhere.”
