About Advanced Oncotherapy Plc

1.    AVO is a provider of radiotherapy services that harnesses the best in modern technology.  As a result, we offer cancer patients affordable access to innovative treatments with proven better health outcomes.

2.    AVO's acquisition of ADAM, a company spin off from CERN (The Large Hadron Collider), focuses on the development of a proprietary radiation technology called LIGHT.  This technology offers patients and providers the benefits of proton beam therapy at significantly reduced capital and running costs.

3.    AVO's subsidiary company, Oncotherapy Resources Ltd, offers an exclusive mobile service for intraoperative radiotherapy (SD-IORT).  This form of radiotherapy is used in a variety of cancers, notably breast cancer, and offers a convenient, safe and effective alternative for the patient.  It is currently available in the UK from Spire Healthcare and BMI Healthcare Hospitals.

4.    Through its shareholding in Advanced Proton Solutions (APS), AVO is involved in the development of the first comprehensive proton beam therapy centre in London to treat both NHS and private patients.  This is the first of its kind in the UK, and will offer treatment options to UK cancer patients that have rarely been available in the past.
