When cancer spreads, having access to advanced targeted treatments can deliver life-changing results.
As a leading UK clinical oncologist specialising in stereotactic radiotherapy (SABR), immunotherapy, and targeted drug therapies, I offer cutting-edge combination approaches that can precisely target and often eliminate cancer metastases with remarkable accuracy.
Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SABR) - Precision That Changes Everything
Stereotactic radiotherapy can treat any cancer type that has spread to a limited number of areas. Its exceptional precision targets metastatic tumours using advanced imaging technologies that ensure accurate targeting while protecting healthy tissues. By delivering high-dose radiation non-invasively, SABR effectively treats affected areas while minimising damage to surrounding tissue.
Oligometastatic Disease - When Limited Spread Opens New Possibilities
When cancer spreads from its original site to only 1-5 locations, this represents a middle ground between localised and extensively spread disease. In these cases, I treat the limited metastases using stereotactic radiotherapy and targeted drug therapies. Many patients experience highly positive outcomes, with some seeing their cancer completely disappear. Some people avoid the need for chemotherapy altogether.
Oligoprogressive Disease - Staying Ahead of Cancer's Next Move
When you're on systemic therapy and cancer progresses in just a few areas while the rest remains controlled, targeted stereotactic radiotherapy can treat these progressing lesions. This allows you to continue your current systemic therapy without switching to a different treatment plan.
Brain Metastases - Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
For brain metastases, I offer Stereotactic Radiosurgery using CyberKnife or modern linear accelerators. This non-invasive approach delivers precisely targeted radiation directly to affected brain areas, often in a single session, with proven effectiveness in tumour control.
Symptom Control That Works
My top priority is addressing your symptoms. Pain affects appetite, mobility, sleep, and quality of life - hindering effective treatment. The radiotherapy I provide can rapidly alleviate symptoms like pain, distressing cough, or visible swellings, helping you return to normal activities with minimal side effects.
Advanced Drug Therapies Tailored to You
Your treatment plan may include immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies based on your cancer's genetic profile. I examine the genetic factors driving your metastatic cancer to implement therapies that prevent growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells, ensuring the best possible results based on latest clinical evidence.
If you've only been offered palliative care elsewhere and haven't discussed CyberKnife, MR-linac, clinical trials, stereotactic radiotherapy, or combination approaches - we should definitely talk.
