The Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow has treated more young cancer patients in its molecular radiotherapy suite in the past 12 months than it initially projected for its first five years of operation. The suite, which opened after a multi-million-pound renovation, offers world-class treatment for children with neuroblastoma and other types of cancer. Patients receive targeted radiotherapy using MIBG therapy, which specifically targets tumours. The suite allows parents to stay close to their children and provides measures to ensure their safety during treatment. The success of the suite has surpassed expectations, prompting hopes of expanding access to this life-saving therapy to more children in the future.
