Our treatments and services
Radiation oncology
Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays or other particles to treat cancer and can be used at all stages. Radiation therapy techniques can include: Magnetic Resonance Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (MRIgRT), Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH), External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT), Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation Therapy (SABR), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and specialised non-surgical treatment for skin cancer and some benign conditions.
Theranostics is an approach to cancer therapy which combines diagnostics and treatment techniques to detect and treat some cancer types. Our theranostics service in partnership with SKG Radiology, combines novel, targeted therapeutic radioisotope services with diagnostic imaging.
At GenesisCare, we challenge ourselves every day to help find new and better ways to offer high-quality care, and we aim to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients wherever we can. Our Murdoch team may be able to offer you access to the GenesisCare global network of clinical trials. For further information on clinical trial participation, please speak with your treating doctor.
Allied health services
At GenesisCare, Murdoch we offer access to a range of Allied health services in collaboration with SJOG, all tailored to support your needs. One of your treatment team will discuss the most suitable options with you.
Exercise Therapy
Considerable research and clinical evidence has established that exercise may be beneficial for people with cancer; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.1,2 Every person’s circumstances are unique and these should be take into account. Tailored exercise programs designed by an exercise professional that include both aerobic and resistance training activities have been shown to provide benefits.3 To learn more about incorporating exercise during your cancer journey, please speak with your doctor and treatment team.
