Welcome to the Acute Oncology Cancer of Unknown Primary Service. We aim to provide support and information to patients with a newly diagnosed cancer, where the primary site is not obvious.
Our aim is to:
- Act as your key worker whilst you have investigations.
- Refer onto appropriate specialist teams as and when required
- Offer support, training and information to the staff involved in your care during your hospital stay.
Produce an individualised treatment plan for initial management.
