About Amethyst Radiotherapy UK

We operate two NHS England National Centres of Excellence, which provide specialist care and support for patients with rare and complex conditions, using the Gamma Knife* platform specially designed to treat previously inoperable brain lesions. Our London centre is located at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, the UK’s largest dedicated neurological and neurosurgical hospital, our other centre is based in Sheffield working in close partnership with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Our treatment pathways enjoy a significant strength with well-established integration across other areas of expertise within the University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Gamma Knife is a non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery platform that involves no scalpel or incision. Gamma Knife uses up to 201 precisely-focused beams of radiation to control malignant and non-malignant tumours, as well as vascular and functional disorders in the brain, without harming surrounding healthy tissue. Patients are typically in and out of the hospital in a day, and back to their normal routines soon after treatment. Gamma Knife radiosurgery may be used in place of – or in addition to – traditional surgery or whole brain radiation, depending on a patient’s diagnosis. We can treat: Metastatic Brain Tumours, Arteriovenous malformation, Trigeminal Neuralgia Cavernoma, Meningiomas, Acoustic Neuromas, Pituitary tumours and other brain tumours.
