At the hospital we can care for people with:

• breast cancer

• gynaecological cancers (including ovarian and cervical cancer)
• haematological conditions (including lymphoma, myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia)
• lung cancer
• melanomas/skin cancer
• oral/mouth cancers
• urological cancers (including cancers of the bladder, kidney, prostate and testicles).

Our oncologists and consultants are supported by specialist oncology nurses. They have extensive experience in a wide range of malignancies, providing support for patients from diagnosis through to treatment and follow-up. Their knowledge and practice is kept up-to-date through regular clinical updates and competency assessments. Our cancer nurses are trained in all issues relating to cancer including chemotherapy, the management of side effects and in providing supportive care.

The team is also supported by the our experienced radiologists and radiographers who are experts in using imaging technology to test for cancer.
