According to the care provider, it will "set a new standard" for adaptive radiotherapy in Northern England. The centre will have a unique capability to personalize radiotherapy in real-time, utilizing both MRI and CT imaging to provide patients with treatment tailored to their specific cancer needs.

Dr Eliot Sims, Chief Medical Officer at GenesisCare, said: "Adaptive radiotherapy represents a transformative advancement in cancer treatment.

"By using the technology’s ability to provide live images of both the tumour and normal tissue, we can create a new treatment plan every day based on the patient’s anatomy.

"This gives our clinicians the confidence to deliver high-dose radiotherapy with exquisite precision, whilst minimising side effects, thereby improving patient outcomes.

"This is truly personalised radiotherapy."

Justin Hely, GenesisCare’s CEO UK & Europe, said: "The opening of our 15th and largest centre in Leeds marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide accessible, world-class cancer care.

"For patients in the North of England, this new facility will mean access to the latest advancements in both radiotherapy and systemic therapy right on their doorstep. "
