A London based clinic offering cancer treatments
that aim to fight cancer while preserving an
acceptable quality of life for patients.
At some point while fighting cancer, standard treatments may no
longer help; they may have stopped working or they are simply not
available. Many patients run out of options for treating their
cancer. The Care Oncology Clinic is a leading London cancer clinic
that provides cancer treatment for patients in this situation. The
treatments used are all established medicines with few side effects
and are combined in a novel way to reduce cancer cell growth and
improve the quality of life for all patients with cancer.

PATIENT INFORMATION PACK
NOVEL TREATMENT
The Care Oncology Clinic provides existing treatments which, when given
together, have an effect on the growth rate of cancer cells. It is hoped that
results collected by the clinic will be clinically significant at the same time
as offering an improved quality of life for patients.
Cancer cells are very different from normal cells in the way they convert food to energy. These
differences are well known and documented in clinical research. To date, research has been
undertaken with existing prescription medicines, including metformin (diabetes), statins
(cholesterol) and antibiotics (infections), to demonstrate the positive effects these individual
drugs have on slowing down the rate of growth of cancer cells and tumours.
Currently these treatments are not licensed (or approved) for the treatment of cancer, despite
having demonstrated positive effects. The Care Oncology Clinic aims to provide this treatment
option and will report in case studies the long-term effects of these existing, tolerable treatments
on reducing cancer cell growth.
