Introduction
During your stay in hospital, you were reviewed by a member of the Acute Oncology Team.
The Acute Oncology Team has been developed to support patients with cancer who come to hospital as an emergency. This could be because of a complication from cancer treatment, symptoms related to cancer, or because a patient has had a scan that suggests they may have a new cancer.
Included in this leaflet are some frequently asked questions. We hope you find the information useful once you are discharged.
