Referrals
The Royal Marsden is a specialist treatment centre for gynaecological cancers. Most of our referrals come from the network of NHS trusts with which we work.
We do not accept general referrals from GPs.
Clinical trials
The Royal Marsden’s Gynaecology Unit is involved in research across a range of gynaecological cancers.
Management of these cancers requires a multidisciplinary team approach, and the Gynaecology Unit's clinical research programme is organised in such a way as to reflect this.
