Galway Bay fm newsroom – The Galway Clinic is the first centre in Ireland to offer a new advanced radiotherapy which has the potential to almost halve treatment time for some cancer patients.

The advanced radiotherapy called Versa HD can be delivered 42 percent faster than other treatments for complex head and neck cancers.
For prostate patients, the treatment can be delivered over five days compared to six weeks using existing models.
