CRH Roxanne and Patient.pngChesterfield Royal Hospital and The NGS Macmillan Unit are  Satellite hubs for Weston Park Hospital Oncology Service, supporting patients living with Colorectal, Renal, Lung and Breast Cancers. 

Weston Park Hospital has developed a patient information film that provides a generic chemotherapy talk for oncology patients, which they have kindly given us permission to share. Patients attending IV Chemotherapy are being asked to view this before attending for treatment, so their one-to-one talk focuses on the regimen-specific details and side effects. The link also gives information regarding radiotherapy and flushing of certain IV devices. Please note the information references Weston Park facilities, which will not be valid for Chesterfield patients. 

There have been huge developments in the treatments of cancer, and they continue to evolve, as such the term “Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapies” is the term used to describe multiple treatments now available. These are known as Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, Targeted Therapies, and Hormonal Therapies.

Chemotherapy controls cancer cell growth by damaging cells to stop them from multiplying and spreading.
