Request Summary: MICTs

Request Category: Companies

 
Question Number 1:
I would be most grateful if you could please provide details on the use of Minimally Invasive Cancer Therapies (MICTs), commissioned or delivered within your Trust area during the 2024-2025 financial year. The types of treatments MICTs include are:

• Cryoablation

• Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT)

• High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

Please confirm if your Trust does or does not commission any of these procedures. If so, please list the therapies involved.
 
Answer To Question 1:
None of these treatments are provided in Salisbury. Our patients would potentially be referred to a Tertiary centre to receive these if recommended.


Response from Cancer Team: We don’t provide any of these treatments – we’d tend to send patients to University Hospital Southampton if needed.
 
Question Number 2:
In addition, if your Trust carry out any of these procedures, I would be most grateful if you could please provide me with details of the number of times each therapy was used or delivered within the 2024 – 2025 financial year.
