GenesisCare


Leading the way for cutting-edge cancer treatments


With someone diagnosed with cancer every 90 seconds in the UK 1 ,


the need for transformative cancer care has never been more press- ing. One healthcare provider answering this call is GenesisCare, the UK’s leading independent, specialist cancer care provider. Operating 14 outpatient centres, including one in the heart of


Milton Keynes, they’re providing innovative, personalised cancer treatments which can positively impact on patient quality of life, life expectancy and overall survival. T e CQC Good rated centre has also been awarded an esteemed


Macmillan Quality Environment Mark, recognising and celebrating environments that meet the standards required by people living with cancer. In 2023, the Milton Keynes centre marked a milestone with over


a decade of service to cancer patients across Buckinghamshire and neighbouring regions. Including advanced imaging techniques, specialist clinics for breast and urology diagnosis, and precision radiotherapy for hard-to-reach tumours. One treatment that’s changing patient outcomes is the state-of-


the-art SABR radiotherapy, used for several adult cancers, including prostate, lung, pancreas, liver and kidney cancer. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a ground-breaking treatment which delivers targeted radiation with pinpoint precision, limiting damage to surrounding healthy tissue, and can be delivered in fi ve sessions, compared to the traditional 15 to 35 sessions. Every cancer and every person is unique, and GenesisCare believe


a personalised approach to care and treatment, together with fast access is key to achieving the best possible outcomes. At their centre in Milton Keynes, GenesisCare provide rapid


access services, including appointments within 24 hours, same- day CT scans, a one-stop breast clinic, private breast screening and shorter treatment programmes with advanced radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy treatments also available. Spotting cancer at the earliest possible stage is one of the most


eff ective cancer interventions, and being diagnosed early often means more treatment options are available. According to data from the NHS, fi ve-year survival for common and life-threatening cancers can be drastically improved by early diagnosis.2 “We are committed to ensuring our patients receive the cancer


care they need without delay,” said Samantha Warman, Centre Leader at GenesisCare in Milton Keynes. “We’re also proud that we are developing relationships with a number of local Milton Keynes businesses to provide private breast screenings to their employees.” Importantly, GenesisCare provide innovations which not only


treat cancer but also practically and emotionally support those aff ected. T ese include the much-needed bra fi tting and prosthetics service for breast cancer patients after surgery, and life-changing integrative cancer care, now widely considered as a key part of recovery and survivorship, combining treatment with emotional and lifestyle support. At GenesisCare in Milton Keynes, cancer patients have access to


specialist wellbeing support with the Penny Brohn UK Partnership. Penny Brohn has pioneered integrative cancer care in the UK, with one-to-one appointments wellbeing consultants who help tailor bespoke programmes of supportive therapies, including refl exology, acupuncture, relaxation training and counselling.
