The Radiation Oncology Targeting Cancer Campaign is an initiative of the Faculty of Radiation Oncology of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR)*.

The Campaign aims to increase awareness of radiation therapy as an effective, safe and sophisticated treatment for cancer. It is designed to reach people with cancer, their families and loved ones to improve their knowledge and access to this (sometimes overlooked) treatment.

The Campaign also strives to educate health professionals about radiation therapy, in particular, general practitioners. This website is a trusted source of information developed by radiation oncologists who are the medical specialists highly trained in the care of patients with cancer, in particular, where management may involve the use of radiation therapy.

The Campaign team continues to undertake many activities, including the development and delivery of useful resources about radiation therapy, to assist those touched by cancer, now or in the future.

Exercise has been shown to reduce the impact of cancer symptoms and treatment related side-effects, including fatigue and weakness. At GenesisCare, St Vincent's Hospital we offer exercise medicine tailored to your personal needs. You can read more about the benefits of exercise medicine here.

GenesisCare is the first to introduce the Elekta Unity MR-Linac to New South Wales, the latest precision radiation therapy treatment option for patients. MR-Linac technology combines high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques with extremely precise radiation therapy that can treat tumours more accurately than conventional radiation therapy. This can mean fewer treatment sessions, reduced side effects and a greater chance of an improved outcome.

This type of radiation therapy is called magnetic resonance image guided radiation therapy (MRIgRT).
