Chemotherapy

About this service

We offer a range of chemotherapy and specialist haematological treatments. The majority of these treatments take place at the Headland Unit, a dedicated, purpose-built chemotherapy unit at the Royal Cornwall Hospital. We also have a mobile chemotherapy van that visits various areas of Cornwall including Penzance, Hayle and Bodmin.
