The Royal Marsden's website is designed to provide information and education about cancer to health care professionals, patients and the public.

We are sorry we are unable to offer medical advice or professional services over the hospital's web site. As is standard practice, referrals for expert opinion or treatment at the hospital can only be made by medical practitioners and not by patients themselves.

Every effort has been made to ensure the information we provide is accurate but the Royal Marsden and its web maintainers cannot be held responsible for the site's accuracy or for any actions made on the basis of the information we provide here.

The information provided here is also not a substitute for professional medical care and if you have, or suspect you have, cancer you should consult your own General Practitioner as quickly as possible.

No part of any of the Patient Information Booklets available on the Royal Marsden web site may be reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission except in the case of brief quotations embodied in critical articles and reviews.
