The Veterinary Referrals Cancer & Critical Care Centre – New Linac Machine
New cancer treatment equipment is currently being installed at the VRCC (Veterinary Referrals Cancer & Critical Care Centre) in Laindon, Essex. The VRCC is one of the most advanced centres in Europe for the treatment of cancer in dogs and cats and the installation of a Varian 600c machine for cancer radiotherapy is an ambitious project. These machines, built in California are currently being installed worldwide for Radiotherapy treatment in humans. This machine will enable certain cancers to be treated by quickly and efficiently delivering carefully targeted doses of radiotherapy allowing a large number of patients to benefit from this treatment, and hopefully save the lives of many dogs and cats. Funding for the machine has been raised entirely from public donations. More information is available on their website www.vrcc.co.uk < Back to Articles
