ABOUT

Dr Cathy Walton is an oncologist from Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape Province. Her practice is well-known for treating patients as complete beings. She has respect for patient autonomy. She firmly believes that knowledge is power and that communication, care, and dignity is imperative in a healing environment.

She established her solo private practice in 2023 as there is more availability and access to international standards of care in private practice. She maintains high standards of care and must be on the cutting edge of advancements in treatments.

Dr Walton reached a remarkable milestone when she carried out the Port Elizabeth unit’s first remote Gamma Knife radiosurgery on a patient, managing the procedure from Port Elizabeth while her patient was in Johannesburg.

She decided to venture into medical studies as she believed she could give back to society and make a positive difference in difficult situations. She is most passionate about providing holistic care to her patients providing emotional and medical support and treating them with honesty and integrity.

Dr Walton is involved in the following social responsibility programs: Cancer Care Bears, the Veronica Minnie Cancer Support Trust and the Igazi Foundation.

We treat a patient, not a disease.

The use of high-energy radiation from x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours. Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy) or radioactive material placed near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy). Systemic radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance, such as a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body - also called irradiation and radiotherapy.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-surgical radiation therapy for treating functional abnormalities and small brain tumours. It can deliver precisely-targeted radiation in fewer high-dose treatments than traditional therapy, which can help preserve healthy tissue. When SRS treats body tumours, it's called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

A treatment using gamma rays, a type of high-energy radiation that can be tightly focused on small tumours or other lesions in the head or neck, so very little normal tissue receives radiation. The gamma rays are aimed simultaneously at the tumour from many different angles and deliver a large dose of radiation to the tumour in one treatment session. This procedure is a type of stereotactic radiosurgery.
