Having a diagnosis of cancer can be a highly stressful and difficult time for patients and their families. Dr Tuthill uses a patient-centred approach 

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy drugs are used to kill cancer cells and can be used to prevent cancer from returning after breast, bladder, lung, and testes surgery or to treat recurrent cancer.

Immunotherapy treatments for cancer are drugs which harness the immune system to kill cancer cells. Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionised the treatment of many forms of cancer including 

lung cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer and may become a treatment for some forms of breast cancer.

Cancer growth inhibitors

Cancer growth inhibitors are used to 

treat cancers of the prostate, lung, kidney and breast. Many cancer growth inhibitors target specific cancer mutations within the cancer cells such as HER-2 in breast cancer, EGFR in lung cancer, cancer growth receptors in kidney cancer, and the androgen receptor in prostate cancer.

Hormone therapy

Breast cancer can be treated by lowering the female hormone oestrogen, and prostate cancer can be treated by reducing the male hormones. Often it is possible to combine cancer growth inhibitors with hormone therapy. The side-effects of these treatments can be minimised by using various techniques.
