We have the facilities to diagnose and treat many types of cancer.
A wide range of services for both adults and young people includes:
- Specialist surgery
- Chemotherapy (drug therapy)
- Haemato-oncology (cancer of the blood)
- Palliative services
- Supportive care services
- Psychological services
We provide inpatient, day-case and outpatient services for cancer treatments.
Where highly specialised treatments are required, patients are referred to the appropriate specialist centre, which is usually a recognised centre of excellence for that particular type of cancer and its treatment.
For example, lung surgery patients (for lung cancer) are referred to the Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust and/or the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; patients requiring radiotherapy are referred for treatment at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford.
