Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery Oncology
We support patients affected by oesophageal and gastric cancer (food pipe and stomach) from initial diagnosis and investigations to surgical treatment and follow-up care.
We are committed to fully informing patients about their condition and the available treatment options. We value and encourage feedback to continually improve our service and benefit others facing oesophageal and gastric cancers.
