Did you CCA utilises tattoo-free radiation therapy across all centres?
Using advanced Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT), a specialised 3D camera system monitors your position in real time with sub-millimetre accuracy. This means we can deliver highly precise radiation treatment without the need for permanent tattoos, which have traditionally been used to align positioning over multiple treatment rounds. For many people, those small tattoos became a lasting visible reminder of their cancer journey.
SGRT also enhances safety. The system continuously tracks your position and will automatically pause treatment if unexpected movement is detected. Set-ups are faster and more precise, meaning less time adjusting and more confidence in your care.
For breast cancer patients, when SGRT is combined with breath-hold techniques, radiation exposure to the heart is reduced - lowering the risk of heart disease later in life. This is technology designed not just for effective treatment now, but for your long-term health and comfort.
Since 2024, all Cancer Care Associates treatment machines have utilised SGRT. We believe tattoo-free treatment represents the standard of care - because caring for you means thinking about every detail, both during and beyond treatment.
