The Berkshire Cancer Centre is one of the two cancer centres in the Thames Valley area, providing cancer services to people across Berkshire and areas of South Oxfordshire.
We provide chemotherapy, radiotherapy and palliative care services.
There is a dedicated cancer and haematology ward (Adelaide), a specialist cancer outpatients department and radiotherapy and chemotherapy units.
The Berkshire Cancer Centre (BCC) sees patients diagnosed with a range of cancers including:
- breast cancer
- bowel cancer
- gynaecological cancers including ovarian, cervical, and endometrium
- urological cancers such as cancer of the prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancer
- lymphomas
- brain tumours
- cancers of the head and neck
- skin cancer
- lung cancer and cancers of the oesophagus, stomach and pancreas.
Patients are referred to the Outpatients Department by other doctors when a diagnosis of cancer has been made and treatment is required.
