oncology

Cancer is...

• a major health problem for our society: 1 or 3 of us will get cancer and 1 in 4 of us will die from it
• a complex disease which is not yet fully understood, it can arise in any part of the body and may behave in a variety of different ways. Different types have different symptoms and require different types of treatment
  
  

The Oncology Centre...

• is the focus of cancer care at Addenbrooke's providing state-of-the-art treatment to patients from Cambridge and across the whole of East Anglia
• works closely with teams within Cambridge University to take forward research into screening, prevention and treatment

Demand for treatment is rising and there is increasing pressure on the resources available.

The Oncology Department needs you to help them remain at the forefront of cancer management and make the biggest possible difference to the lives of our patients.
