Menu UNITED KINGDOM UK Patients Our Therapy Areas Oncology Oncology When a person is told they have cancer, their world – and the worlds of their families and loved ones – is turned upside down. In addition to coping with the illness itself, the side-effects of the prescribed treatment can also be harrowing and difficult. Yet, thankfully, there have been tremendous advancements in care in recent years. Cancer is a broad group of diseases where tumours develop, often growing uncontrollably. Unfortunately, tumours can also spread into neighbouring healthy tissue and organs. Some types of cancer respond very well to treatment, and recovery rates are high. For others, the picture is not as positive. However, there are a wide range of treatment options available, both aiming to reduce tumour size and also to alleviate side effects and other symptoms that can come about as a result of either the cancer itself, or the treatments used. Each form of cancer has its own specific method of diagnosis and treatment – these include chemotherapy (powerful medication that kills the cancer cells), radiotherapy (using high energy x-rays to kill the cancer cells) and surgery (to remove the affected tissue). Our range of oncology medicines There are a wide range of medicines to treat not only cancer, but also the side effects of cancer treatment, like neutropenia (where the number of infection-fighting white blood cells is reduced as a result of chemotherapy), as well as pain which often comes about as a result of the tumour pressing on surrounding tissue, organs or bones, or because of the treatments used to fight the disease.
