About us
We investigate, treat and provide support to patients who are diagnosed with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP). For more information on Cancer of Unknown Primary, please follow this link.
The cancer of unknown primary service is made up of a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) who work together to identify the best course of treatment for each patient. More information on Multidisciplinary Teams can be found by following this link.
The service incorporates both in-patient and out-patient facilities at Harrogate District Hospital.
