The University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre is where many of the neuro-oncology outpatient clinics take place.
The Cancer Centre hosts the chemotherapy day unit is where the majority of brain chemotherapy treatments are delivered. Chemotherapy is usually delivered on an outpatient basis in the Cancer Centre, but can be administered on the oncology wards if the patient is required to be admitted. Chemotherapy is provided by a team of oncologists.
