Staff on Ward 37 specialise in the care of patients with all types of solid tumour cancers undergoing specific radioactive treatments, including iodine 131, (for thyroid cancer) gynaecological selectrons and radioactive jigs and moulds. Patients are also admitted to support them during and immediately after radiotherapy treatment which may be radical (curative) or palliative (to relieve symptoms).
