Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) has a Haematology and Oncology service that treats patients referred to Queen Alexandra hospital with a potential cancer or a possible haematological disorder.
Haematology is the medical specialty involved in diagnosing and treating patients with blood disorders. These disorders can be either cancerous or non-cancerous.
Oncology is the medical specialty that treats those patients who have been diagnosed with cancer.
PHU has a designated cancer centre treating a wide range of cancers and haematology disorders for patients aged over 16 years who live in southern Hampshire and some parts of West Sussex. It has close links with the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and cancer services based in Chichester and the Isle of Wight. Adults diagnosed with very rare cancers and children diagnosed with cancer are normally referred to the specialist centres in Southampton and London for their treatment. New patients to the service will be referred via other specialities within PHU, from other NHS Trusts or your GP.
