Supporters of Rosemere Cancer Foundation - who have already helped to raise £800,000 towards the £1.3 million cost of bringing revolutionary Surface Guided Radiotherapy Treatment to Preston - have witnessed it in action

Rosemere Cancer Foundation chairman Mr Peter Mileham OBE welcomes the charity’s supporters to the Guiding Light Appeal open evening

The specialist camera systems needed to make SGRT possible have already been installed in four of the six radiotherapy treatment rooms at Rosemere Cancer Centre, with work to be completed within weeks in the other two and its CT scanner room. “It’s they who are bringing SGRT to patients going forward from January – patients being booked in now to receive their treatment. The plan is for breast cancer patients to be the first to experience the many benefits of SGRT with it then being rolled out to everyone.”

Mr Jennings told supporters that Rosemere Cancer Centre was now the country’s 10th largest specialist cancer centre with a radiotherapy department treating 240 patients a day, five days a week, from across Lancashire and South Cumbria.
