The Prostate Cancer Institute is being constructed within St George Cancer Care Centre.

The Centre is being remodeled and enhanced to accommodate the Prostate Cancer Institute, adding modern treatment rooms, latest technology equipment, and improved facilities for treating all types of cancer. A completely new research laboratory will also be constructed in a later stage.

The total cost of the construction work is currently estimated at $6 million.

The first stage, medical staff were relocated to new offices on the first floor. Stage two was the construction of a brachytherapy bunker, a CT scan room, control rooms and additional offices in the ground floor areas. It will be the only brachytherapy treatment facility in a public hospital in Australia.

The third stage is the construction of a well-equipped laboratories in the Pitney Building (next to the Cancer Care Centre) following the removal of the old theatrette. This will be used for clinical trials.

The final stage will be the expansion of the treatment rooms for all cancer sufferers. The St George Cancer Care Centre will have more treatment and specialised rooms and will have an enhanced ability to treat more patients in a greatly improved environment.
