Information and contact us

Welcome to our pages for the Royal Devon cancer service. We deliver care, treatment and support for patients across Devon, working in partnership with other Trusts and specialist centres for specific types of cancers and related conditions.

We understand the impact that a cancer diagnosis has on our patients, their carers, family and friends, both physically and psychologically.  Our aim is to provide the highest standard of care possible, making sure that you feel informed, respected and supported at every stage of your pathway.

We work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to assess, diagnose, treat and monitor your condition, providing you with options that are specific for your type of cancer and appropriate for your needs. Alongside this, we will put you in touch with support services and partner charities so that you can live well with and beyond cancer.

The following pages provide an overview of our service, but please get in contact if you have a specific question related to your care.
