​Activity at Cancer Unit tripled over last five years, says consultant oncologist

Activity at the Cancer Unit has tripled over the last five years, with more patients being seen and more support being provided.

Almost half - 48% - of new patients at the cancer unit present with advanced stage 4 cancer; the unit deals with patients who are in need of chemotherapy.

Diagnoses can often be overwhelming for patients - particularly if it catches them entirely off guard.
