Icon to introduce cutting-edge radiation therapy within Holmesglen Private Hospital

The latest in advanced radiation therapy treatment will soon be available closer to home with the opening of a new, state-of-the-art cancer centre within Holmesglen Private Hospital. Cancer patients will be able to access all aspects of their care in the one location following the opening of Icon Cancer Centre Holmesglen in September 2021 of this year within Holmesglen Private Hospital, including surgery, radiation therapy, and infusion and oncology services.

Icon Group CEO Mark Middleton says the opening of Icon Cancer Centre Holmesglen will support the expanding metropolitan Melbourne community to conveniently access the latest in radiation therapy treatment.

“With Melbourne’s population set to increase to approximately 6.2 million by 2026, we are delighted to ensure that every person who receives a cancer diagnosis can access the best possible care, closer to home through the opening of a dedicated radiation therapy centre in the heart of Melbourne’s south-eastern corridor.”

Holmesglen Private Hospital General Manager Keryn Hopkins says the centre will support the local community to access state-of-the-art radiation therapy treatment which was previously unavailable within Holmesglen Private Hospital.

“Icon Cancer Centre Holmesglen will play an important role in the delivery of comprehensive cancer care within Holmesglen Private Hospital, supporting local clinicians to offer seamless access to a full suite of cancer treatment options under the one roof,” Ms Hopkins said. “The opening of a dedicated radiation therapy centre represents another step forward in the delivery of patient-centred, personalised care within our hospital grounds, ensuring every patient who walks through our doors can access the care they need in one convenient location.”
