Cancer treatment New machine is second in UK

The Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford - which treats cancer patients from a wide area including Horsham - has launched a revolutionary new radiotherapy treatment. It has installed a £2million ground-breaking machine that uses artificial intelligence to target tumours with extreme precision. The new Varian Ethos machine is only the second of its type in use in the UK. Peter Gable, 66, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer in April last year, is the first patient to receive the new online adaptive treatment. He said: “It looks a lot less clinical and daunting when I go into the treatment room and I can see how it’s going to make things simpler and easier for me.”
