Welcome

This treatment tool aims to help you do four things:

  1. Understand your possible treatment choices

  2. Compare these treatments

  3. Find out more about any treatment

  4. Discover what might happen if the cancer keeps growing after treatment.

The treatments shown may not always apply to you. Your choice may be limited because of the nature of your cancer. This includes how likely it is that the cancer will grow quickly or spread, or whether it has spread already. Your choice may also be affected by your fitness levels and other existing health problems.

The treatments shown are also currently only those which have been approved for use on the NHS in England and Wales. Treatments are mostly the same on the NHS in Scotland and Northern Ireland but there may be some small differences. Where a treatment is not available in all four countries we will say so.

There may also be other treatments which are available privately or on clinical trials which are not listed here.

Before using this treatment tool we suggest you look at what information you will need (link will open in a new tab).
