Services at Private Care at Guy’s
Oncology and Haematology
Our services include outpatient chemotherapy, oncology, haematology and stem cell transplantation. We also provide private radiotherapy on campus in our London Radiotherapy Centre. Complementary therapy and support counselling are available to our patients from initial diagnosis, through to treatment and aftercare.
The latest cancer therapies
As part of our comprehensive cancer service, at Private Care at Guy’s we offer the very latest anti-cancer therapies. These include new biologic treatments, immunotherapy and clinical trials through the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI). SCRI is the first and only unit outside the NHS to offer these anti-cancer drugs in therapeutic clinical trials.
Autologous Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Unit
We have a JACIE accredited autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation unit (AHSCT) for haematological cancers and patients with MS. In the case of MS this treatment is proven to lead to remission in 70 to 80% of patients (as defined by No Evidence of Disease Activity, NEDA, over three years).
A comprehensive robotic surgery programme
Here consultant surgeons have access to the latest technology on-site including the da Vinci ® surgical system: a robot that offers surgeons unparalleled assistance in performing the most complex and delicate of surgeries. This ensures greater precision when treating patients with conditions such as prostate cancer, and head and neck tumours, where the risk of collateral damage is higher in such confined spaces. Specialties include urology, gynaecology, head and neck and thoracic.
At Private Care at Guy’s the latest procedures carried out robotically include: Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for base of tongue and throat cancers; radical prostatectomies, complex, urological reconstruction, adrenalectomy, thymectomy and lung segmentectomy, and hysterectomy. Patients whose conditions are appropriate for robotic surgery can expect: shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, less pain, lower infection rates and less scarring.
