Radiation Therapy

Through the generous support of our community, we have a state-of-the-art, purpose built radiation therapy unit staffed by highly qualified and experienced team lead by Dr Chris Fosker.  Our clinical affiliation with Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center (DFBCC) ensures that our RT unit provides the same level of treatment, care and outcomes at international standards, by using the same treatment systems, software, RT protocols, and quality assurance programmes that are utilised at DFBCC.

Your health insurance will cover a portion of your service/appointment cost. In an effort to lower your healthcare costs, the Centre does not charge a co-pay, however donations towards your balance are greatly accepted. If you are currently uninsured, your costs may be covered by our Equal Access Fund. Doctor referrals are required for these appointments.

Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre has a clinical affiliation with Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center (DFBCC) for Radiation Therapy.

Every Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre (the Centre) patient in need of radiation therapy receives care based on an individualised treatment plan developed in close collaboration with specialists at DFBCC in Boston.  The Centre’s state-of-the-art Radiation Therapy Unit, which opened in 2017, is operated in clinical affiliation with DFBCC and was designed and developed with DFBCC. The Radiation Therapy Unit uses the same treatment systems, software, radiation therapy protocols, and quality assurance programmes that are utilised at DFBCC, ensuring patients receive world-class treatment that incorporates the most current international standards in cancer care.

 Within DFBCC, there are 12 specialised cancer treatment centres and experts in every type of cancer. Through the Centre’s clinical affiliation with DFBCC, patients receiving radiation therapy treatments can be confident that they have access to this expertise without leaving Bermuda. Radiation oncologist and the Centre’s radiation therapy director Dr Chris Fosker and the experienced radiation oncology team at the Radiation Therapy Unit work in conjunction with their DFBCC colleagues, remotely and through care delivered on-island, to provide cutting-edge radiation therapy. Through this ongoing affiliation, the Centre’s patients will also have access to the latest advances in radiation treatment.
