Advances in cancer treatment over recent years have benefited patients throughout the world, and radioactive isotopes are used for the treatment of some malignant tumours. With nearly 9,000 new cancers and approximately 3,800 cancer deaths each year in Northern Ireland, the Belfast City Hospital Trust has been implementing a major programme of change and development in cancer services across Northern Ireland. As part of this programme, the Trust has constructed a new purpose-built cancer centre on the Belfast City Hospital campus on the Lisburn Road in Belfast and patients who would have previously received this treatment at Belvoir Park Hospital, (a small radiotherapy hospital), will have transferred to the new purpose-built unit. This new facility ensures that Northern Ireland is now a leader within the UK and Ireland in the field of cancer diagnosis, treatment and research.
