UT Southwestern Medical Centre Invests US$177 million to Construct Oncology Facility in USA
Introduction:
UT Southwestern Medical Centre plans to invest US$177 million to construct new two-storey radiation oncology campus in USA.
Features:
The new Radiation Oncology campus will feature:
- Four advanced linear accelerators (LINACs) designed to provide precise radiation treatments to patients, with additional space for two more as demand grows. One of these LINACs will be equipped with cutting-edge MRI-guided technology, marking the first such installation in Fort Worth, allowing for highly accurate treatments.
- State-of-the-art Positron Emission Tomography (PET) equipment, vital for the precise diagnosis and monitoring of tumour growth. This will be only the second of its kind in Fort Worth, offering essential resources to improve treatment outcomes for local patients.
- A fully equipped brachytherapy suite to support high-dose radiation treatments for prostate and gynaecologic cancers, delivering more efficient care.
This new campus will also become the largest radiation oncology facility in the region, increasing access for oncologists who refer patients in the community.
The introduction of these advanced services and therapies will empower the team to offer personalised treatment plans, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Construction is scheduled to start in early summer 2025, with the project expected to open in 2028.
