Queensland patients with complex and hard-to-treat cancers will soon have access to one of the world’s most advanced forms of precision radiotherapy, with the introduction of the state’s first CyberKnife® System.
The new 5D Clinics Brisbane centre is part of our joint venture with Icon Group, Australia’s largest dedicated provider of cancer care.
Cutting-edge cancer technology
The CyberKnife® System, a non-invasive robotic radiosurgery platform, delivers sub-millimetre accuracy with real-time tumour tracking, enabling highly targeted treatment while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. The technology is designed to support shorter treatment courses, fewer side effects and faster recovery for patients.
The technology is especially effective for complex and hard-to-reach tumours in the brain, spine, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney and prostate.
Bringing world-class cancer care closer to home for more patients
The CyberKnife® system in Queensland expands 5D Clinics and Icon Group’s partnership to three centres nationwide.
“This Brisbane service represents the next phase of our joint venture with Icon, building on the momentum of our clinic in Melbourne and our soon-to-open CyberKnife® service in Sydney, continuing our commitment to expanding access to CyberKnife® across Australia’s east coast,” said 5D Clinics General Manager, Bruno Bosco.
The new Brisbane service will be supported by experienced multidisciplinary teams, including internationally recognised radiation oncologists, Dr Dominique Lee, A/Prof Matthew Foote, Prof Mark Pinkham, A/Prof Jim Jackson, A/Prof Alex Tan, Dr Mihir Shanker, Dr Andrew Oar, Dr Michael Huo, Dr St.John Newman, Dr Howard Liu, Dr Luke Nicholls, Dr Patrick Morgan and Dr Marcus Hu ensuring patients receive expert care in a specialised, patient-focused environment.
“Having this technology in Brisbane helps ensure more patients can be considered for highly specialised radiotherapy treatment options close to home,” said Icon Cancer Centre Radiation Oncologist, A/Prof Matthew Foote.
Located in Bowen Hills, 5D Clinics Brisbane will open in early 2027.
