NICE ratify Papillon therapy for rectal cancer
NICE ratify X-ray brachytherapy for Rectal Cancer treatment.
The National Institute of Health & Care Excellence (NICE) have finished their consultation period for the use of Papillon X-Ray Brachytherapy for the treatment of rectal cancer and published their recommendations.
There are 4 hospitals (Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, The Royal Surrey, Nottingham City & Queens Centre Hull) treating over 200 patients a year and this change in clinical recommendations from NICE will allow many others across the UK to offer the Papillon X-Ray Brachytherapy treatment making the future for rectal cancer patients in the UK a little brighter.
