Treatment

Treatment options include:

• Radiotherapy is mainly performed at the RUH but occasionally patients may need to travel to the British Haematology and Oncology Centre for certain treatments
• Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy are provided at the RUH in the Chemotherapy suite
• Lung cancer surgery will be performed at the University Bristol Hospital Trust
• Patients with recurrent pleural effusions may be seen in the Pleural Procedures clinic for review and drainage. This clinic is on Tuesday mornings and Thursday mornings in the Respiratory Department. Patients may also be booked to be seen by a consultant outside of these hours. The Lung Nurses can book into the Pleural Procedures clinics

Any Complimentary Therapies can be organised in the community by the patient or some GP surgeries.
