What is cancer?
Cancer is a condition where abnormal cells grow and spread in an uncontrollable way, anywhere in the body. When detected early, many cancers can be successfully treated using chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other treatments.
At Cromwell Hospital, we treat all types of cancer using the latest medications and technology, from early-stage cases to those that are more complex. Our multidisciplinary team, consisting of oncologists, radiologists, haematologists, and many more, creates tailored treatment plans for each patient.

There are currently more than 200 different types of cancer. Cancers are typed according to where they started within the body. They may also be typed by what cell they started in: carcinoma, sarcoma, leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
In the UK, the most common cancers are breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer and bowel cancer. We treat all four of these cancers at Cromwell Hospital, along with many others.
Simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the chances of developing cancer. These include:
- Eating a healthy, balanced diet
- Exercising regularly
- Not smoking
- Limiting the amount of alcohol you drink
- Protecting your skin from sun damage
