MHL is always seeking the best new treatments for breast cancer as well as outstanding treatment centres to which international patients can apply. Some of the treatments and technologies may not already be well known in some countries so we are pleased to provide an introduction here.

Single dose intraoperative radiotherapy

Originally designed to treat brain cancer tumours, this is now finding a place with breast cancer.

After a lumpectomy the patient usually has 4-6 weeks of external radiotherapy as a precautionary measure, though this often results in radiation burn to sensitive skin. In contrast, intraoperative radiotherapy is delivered in as part of the lumpectomy, directly to the desired target area. This saves weeks of radiotherapy later.and spares the skin and intervening healthy tissue.

MHL currently features the following centres for breast cancer treatment
