We offer interventional radiology, surgery, chemotherapy and other anti-cancer therapies, immunotherapy, haemato-oncology, stem cell transplant, radiotherapy and supportive care. We have specialist cancer facilities for adults, children and young people.
Surgery is one of the most common treatments for many types of cancer. At HCA UK our patients have access to state-of-the-art operating theatres, and our specialist consultants regularly conduct highly-complex surgical procedures with the assistance of expert surgical teams. Surgery can be used to treat cancer, further diagnose the type and stage of cancer you may have or reduce your risk of developing cancer.
Systemic anti-cancer therapies (SACTs) are types of cancer treatments that treat cancer cells in the entire body. Types of SACTs include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted drugs and immunotherapy. At HCA UK we work with the very best medical oncologists and clinical oncologists to provide the latest systemic anti-cancer therapies. Our team of specialists work in multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) to make sure you get the treatment plan that is best for you.
Radiotherapy uses high-energy external radiation beams to target tumour cells with the intention of controlling, reducing and, where possible, eradicating tumours. At HCA UK, we have a comprehensive private radiotherapy service, offering the latest treatment techniques and advanced technology. Our specialists provide patient-centred treatment for a wide range of malignant and non-malignant tumours.
Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment and diagnostic technique. Our team of highly skilled and experienced interventional radiologists use a number of different techniques to treat cancer including embolisation (cutting off the blood supply to tumours and directly targeting them with chemotherapy or radioactivity), ablation (freezing or burning a tumour) and irreversible electroporation (IRE).
Stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant is a type of treatment that replaces damaged blood cells with healthy ones. Stem cell transplants are a complex medical procedure and can only be provided at specialist centres. They have been used to treat blood cancers and disorders for many years, and more recently have been used to treat some auto-immune conditions, specifically multiple sclerosis.
