I recently read a shocking statistic: one single hospital in France treats more patients with advanced stereotactic radiotherapy than all the hospitals in England combined.

All our European neighbours routinely use advanced stereotactic methods to deliver radiotherapy and treat cancers.

So it’s no surprise to find nearly all our neighbours have higher cancer survival rates than us.  We’re languishing somewhere at the bottom of the survival league for some cancers, just above the Czech Republic and Poland.

Stereotactic radiotherapy – using machines like Gamma Knife and Cyberknife – uses high accuracy, is less toxic and results in a greater ability to control or cure cancers.
