Surgery
Some types of cancer can be treated with surgery. If surgery is part of your treatment you will be admitted to hospital. Depending on the surgery you require, this may be for day care or for a longer inpatient stay.
Before your surgery we might ask you to attend a pre-assessment clinic (or pre-admission clinic) so that we can make sure you are well enough for anaesthetic and surgery.
Anaesthetic
Anaesthetists are responsible for the general anaesthesia, sedation and pain management needs of all adults and children. Find out more or read our general patient information pages about surgery and anaesthesia.
