CANCER patients in Southampton now have access to cutting-edge treatment that could extend their lives for up to five months when other therapy has failed.

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is one of only ten hospitals chosen to offer a life-extending radiotherapy treatment that targets tumours in the liver.

Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) can be used on NHS patients with liver cancer that has spread from the bowel and those with bile duct cancer.
