The Centre is able to treat patuients using chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as using proton beam therapy.
Anne-Marie said ‘I am very impressed with the state of the art facilities at the Centre, particularly the Proton Beam. This is an amazing piece of engineering and will be a great asset in the fight against cancer. I hope that all the NHS Trusts in the North East take full advantage of this amazing centre and the expertise of the staff’.
