Diagnosis and treatment of cancer
Thorough investigation plays a vital role in treating cancer effectively. At London Bridge Hospital, we’re equipped to carry out the comprehensive range of highly specialised screening and diagnostic tests.
A new state-of-the-art PET-CT and nuclear medicine centre complement the latest technology across imaging modalities such as CT, Mammogram, MRI, Ultrasound and X-ray. Blood samples and biopsies are analysed on-site or at HCA UK laboratories. And for anyone concerned about the risk of inherited cancer, we also provide a genetic screening service.
Importantly consultant radiologists and pathologists with expertise in each area of cancer report on findings and ensure nothing is missed.


Cancer facilities across our campus
Our Private Care at Guy’s theatres have a fully integrated da Vinci® Surgical System: a robot helping surgeons to perform the most complex, delicate procedures. This provides more precision when treating patients with prostate cancer, minimising the risks of side effects such as impotence and incontinence.
We have a dedicated private radiotherapy suite (located in Guy’s Hospital), an 18 bay treatment suite to deliver chemotherapy, immunotherapy and biologics, and Level 3 Intensive Care Units ensuring we can manage all levels of complexity and need when it comes to cancer. Patients with other cancer types such as oesophageal, renal, colorectal will have their surgery in the main London Bridge Hospital site.

Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists
Great cancer care means even more than our world-renowned consultants and state-of-the-art technology. It also means kindness and compassion. Clinical Nurse Specialists are nurses who, like consultants, specialise in their fields of medicine; from breast to colorectal and haematology. All major cancer specialities have CNSs who support patients and their families throughout their journey, from the moment they step in the door to the end of their treatment and throughout recovery. These specialists provide detailed information on their patients’ conditions and navigate their way through the healthcare ‘system’.
