We are closely associated with UCL Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the Royal Free Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
This gives us greater clinical links than any comparable centre in the UK and has a huge impact on the delivery of clinical service to cancer patients.
The concentration of excellence, access to patients, and significant infrastructure, makes UCL a global leader in cancer research and treatment.
