Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com
Patrick Magee, a renal cancer patient from Northern Ireland, has become the first person on the island to receive a specialized radiotherapy treatment called stereotactic radiotherapy (SABR) at the cancer clinic in Belfast's City Hospital. This innovative treatment, supervised by Dr. Aidan Cole, targets the tumor with more precision than conventional radiotherapy, offering a curative option for patients who are not suitable for surgery. The treatment aims to provide maximal control and cure for many years to come, revolutionizing the outlook for cancer patients in Northern Ireland and offering hope to previously untreatable cases.
