Where to access MR Linac treatment
Where to get MR Linac treatment for prostate cancer in the UK.
The first operational MR Linac system (1.5T Elekta Unity) in the country at the Royal Marsden Hospital location in Sutton treated the first prostate patient in September 2018. The team leader for the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) trial is Dr Alison Tree.
The Christie Hospital in Manchester commenced installation of an Elekta Unity system in 2016 which is now operational. The MOMENTUM MRL trial, under the leadership of Professor Ananya Choudhury, is now underway.
The private Rutherford Medical Centre in Liverpool, which went into receivership June 22 also had an Elekta Unity system.
The centre has now been acquired by Clatterbridge NHS Cancer Centre, which also has a private facility. It is now positioned as a cancer diagnostic centre for Liverpool. It is assumed that the centre will continue to offer MRgRT but we are seeking confirmation.
There are Viewray MRIdian .35T MR Linac systems in Oxford, a collaboration between the private cancer treatment network GenesisCare and Oxford University which is live and treating prostate cancer patients and a further Viewray MRIdian system is at the GenesisCare centre at the Bupa Cromwell Hospital in West London. A Viewray system is also planned as a collaboration between the Royal Surrey Hospital and GenesisCare Guildford.
