Summary
Radiotherapy referrals are received predominately from central and east Suffolk, north and mid Essex. In addition some referrals are received from West Suffolk and bordering ICBs. Radiotherapy is delivered on both the Colchester and Ipswich Hospital sites. The service is part of the East of England Operational Delivery Network for external beam radiotherapy. The two hospitals are equipped with a total of seven multi-modality Varian Truebeam linear accelerators. All are equipped with Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT) capability, On-board Imaging (OBI) systems for image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) using planar imaging and cone beam CT (CBCT) and respiratory gating. They also have the capability to deliver Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR). Suitable cases are discussed in the weekly regional meeting. The service has successfully completed the NHSE SABR credentialing process. SABR is routinely delivered to lung primary, bone, and node oligomatastatic disease on both hospital sites. In addition, Ipswich is taking referrals for spine SABR from within the radiotherapy network.
