Announcing a new world-leading cancer centre for the North, coming to Leeds in 2026.
As the UK’s leading independent cancer care provider, specialising in complex cancers, we’re delighted to confirm plans for a new, state-of-the-art, comprehensive oncology and haematology centre in Leeds, opening in 2026. This new facility will be our 15th and largest centre in our UK network, housing two of the world’s most advanced and sophisticated radiotherapy platforms, revolutionising treatment for patients with cancer.
This pioneering centre will offer cutting-edge cancer care to insured and self-funding patients in the North of England and Scotland, who previously had to travel to GenesisCare in Oxford or London for such advanced treatments.

Setting a new standard
Advanced treatments as standard
We invest in the latest treatments and technology that have been shown to make a difference so our patients can access the most advanced techniques as standard
Setting a new standard in adaptive radiotherapy in the UK, the new Leeds centre will offer both MRI and CT imaging, with the unique ability to personalise radiotherapy for patients in real-time, with treatment precisely tailored to their specific cancer. This will establish GenesisCare in Leeds as one of a small group of cancer centres worldwide with the ability to provide this innovative adaptive radiotherapy

GenesisCare has given me access to an excellent MR linac service in Oxford and London. This has meant that my patients who have complex cancers and have benefitted from this technology, which is not widely available throughout the UK, can get the best possible outcome. Providing access to this technology in Leeds will mean that patients in the north of England won’t have to travel as far.

World class care
As well as access to the very latest radiotherapy technology, GenesisCare patients will also have to access a wide range of other services without the need to travel far from home. From the comfortable, relaxing outpatient and consulting department to the advanced imaging department (3T MRI, PET-CT and CT) to the systemic therapy suite that will deliver chemotherapy, targeted therapies and immunotherapy to patients with every type of cancer, every aspect of personalised advanced cancer care will be seamlessly integrated under one roof.
Dr Eliot Sims, Chief Medical Officer at GenesisCare
"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."
Why choose GenesisCare
Complementing the clinical services will be our GenesisCare signature approach to exercise, dietary advice and supportive care. Patients being treated at the centre will be able to access a prescribed programme of exercise medicine as well as on-site holistic support services such as mindfulness, reflexology and acupuncture. This reflects our strong commitment to treating the whole patient, not just the cancer.

My colleagues and I are excited by the prospect of being able to treat our patients in the new GenesisCare centre in Leeds. As a clinician who specialises in urological cancers, I’m aware of data that has demonstrated improved outcomes for patients with prostate cancer if they can access MRI-guided radiotherapy, so it is excellent that this technology will be available locally in 2026.

There is a great deal of excitement amongst the oncology community over GenesisCare’s planned expansion of its national network to Leeds. This will benefit patients right across the North. Having diagnostics, systemic therapy (including chemotherapy and targeted therapies), cellular therapy and adaptive radiotherapy all seamlessly delivered in one comprehensive centre will be incredible for patients.

The new GenesisCare Leeds centre will be a game changer for my patients with pancreatic and prostate cancers. Pairing the rapid diagnostics with quick access to chemotherapy and world class radiation technology will mean that patients live better for longer. I’m particularly excited about the plan to bring adaptive, MR-guided radiotherapy to the north of England, because it allows us to safely give higher doses of radiotherapy to localised tumours and thereby improve outcomes.

As a clinician who treats people with pancreatic cancer, I’m very conscious that waiting too long for high-quality diagnostic procedures can negatively impact their survival. We will leverage GenesisCare’s unrivalled experience from right across the UK to design a service that achieves much better outcomes for patients in Yorkshire and beyond, so that they get the tests they need and quickly move on to treatment under the care of a national expert.
