The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is a specialist cancer hospital based in Manchester, United Kingdom. It provides specialist cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and supportive care for patients with a broad range of malignant diseases.

The hospital's services include medical oncology, clinical oncology, radiotherapy, cancer surgery, haematology, diagnostic imaging, pathology and specialist supportive care. The Christie also provides highly specialized cancer services for conditions requiring referral-level expertise.

Medical oncology involves systemic cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted treatments and hormonal therapies when clinically appropriate. Clinical oncologists may combine systemic treatment with radiotherapy depending on the cancer diagnosis.

Radiotherapy is used to treat many types of cancer. Modern treatment planning uses imaging and specialist technology to deliver radiation to the intended treatment area while reducing unnecessary exposure to surrounding tissues.

The Christie also provides specialist cancer surgery. Surgical oncology can involve removal of primary tumours, complex resections, reconstructive procedures and surgery for selected metastatic disease.

Specialist teams manage cancers including breast, prostate, gastrointestinal, gynaecological, neurological and other tumour types. Haematology services address blood cancers and other haematological disorders.

The hospital's specialist cancer environment supports multidisciplinary treatment planning. Depending on the diagnosis, patients may be reviewed by surgeons, medical oncologists, clinical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and specialist nurses.

The Christie maintains an official consultant directory. Current listings include Dr Shermaine Pan, Mr Arie Parnham, Dr Karan Patel, Dr Laura Pemberton and Dr Elizabeth Phillips, among many other consultants. Their listed specialties include clinical oncology, urology and andrology, and haematology.

Other current consultant listings include Professor Mike Dennis, Miss Bridget Decruze, Dr Sudha Desai and Dr Shaishav Dhage, covering haematology, gynaecological oncology surgery, histopathology and endocrinology.

The Christie also maintains specialist services for cancer research and clinical studies. Patients interested in clinical trials must meet the individual eligibility criteria for each study.

International patients seeking cancer treatment in Manchester should prepare complete medical records, pathology results, diagnostic imaging and previous treatment details. The specialist team can then determine what further assessment is required.
