1-Week Radiotherapy

Fast forward radiotherapy for breast cancer

How does 1 week-radiotherapy work?

Conventionally, the standard of radiotherapy course for post-surgery early-stage breast cancer treatment is at 40 Gy delivered in 15 fractions over 3 weeks. Using the treatment regimen in the Fast-Forward study, this is now replaced with 26 Gy in 5 fractions over 1 week, hence the alternative name 1-week radiotherapy.

How will this 1-week radiotherapy programme benefit you?

Safe and Effective

Delivering a shorter course of radiotherapy is as SAFE and EFFECTIVE as the current standard of three weeks.

Reduced Cost of Treatment

Lesser radiotherapy treatment fractions means that your total cost of treatment is GREATLY REDUCED, lessening your financial worries.

Convenient due to Lesser Travel Time

By opting for 1 week-radiotherapy treatment, whether you are a local patient or from overseas, your travel time to Beacon Hospital for radiotherapy treatment is SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED from 3 weeks to just 1 week.
