Icon Cancer Centre at Bali International Hospital marks regional first with advanced radiotherapy cancer treatments

Icon Group marked a major step forward in advancing cancer care across Southeast Asia, launching the first stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) service in Icon Cancer Centre at Bali International Hospital (BIH), in addition to the centre delivering the first brachytherapy patient treatment. 

This milestone reflects Icon’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to world-class, integrated cancer care in underserved regions. By leveraging its extensive global network, Icon is able to bring advanced treatment capabilities to more communities. 

 The new centre is uniquely positioned as the first facility of its kind in the region to be fully supported, operated, and quality-assured by Icon Australia and Singapore, ensuring that clinical protocols, patient safety standards, and operational excellence are benchmarked against Icon’s established international framework. 

This successful delivery reflects Icon’s leading stereotactic capabilities and multidisciplinary, borderless approach, which enables the safe, efficient and effective introduction of highly advanced treatments anywhere in the world.

Since receiving SRT treatment, the patient has shown extraordinary progress, regaining the ability to complete activities independently, including walking and talking as she did previously. This improved quality of life demonstrates the invaluable impact of having access to the latest treatments. 

Closing the gap in cancer care 

Radiation Oncologist at Icon Cancer Centre at BIH, Dr Daksa Ganapati, recognised the importance of the work being done at the centre.  

“The launch of our first SRT service and the successful treatment of our first brachytherapy patient marks a transformative moment for cancer care in this region,” he said. 

“By introducing these advanced, high-precision therapies, we are not just upgrading our technology; we are closing the gap in cancer care equity. Indonesian patients can now access world-class treatments right here at home, without the physical and emotional burden of traveling abroad. 

“This achievement is a powerful testament to what global collaboration can achieve. By uniting Icon’s international network of clinical expertise with the strong, local platform provided by Bali International Hospital, we are setting a new benchmark for oncology in Indonesia, delivering a truly international standard of safety and precision to the people who need it most.” 

Setting a new benchmark 

The milestones achieved in Bali forms part of Icon Group’s broader commitment to supporting sustainable cancer care throughout the ASEAN region and globally, which is anchored in collaboration, innovation and clinical excellence.  

The maturity of Icon’s systems is accelerating the availability of first-to-market technologies, improving healthcare outcomes for more communities and regions.
