Mount Vernon Cancer Centre

A regional cancer centre treating over 5,000 patients a year, Mount Vernon provides patients with specialist radiotherapy and local chemotherapy services.  Through its partnership with the Royal Marsden and Institute of Cancer Research, it is also one of the leading cancer centres in the UK when it comes to researching new potential treatments. 

We have the first CyberKnife in the NHS. It delivers a high-dose radiation to tumours with pin-point accuracy – giving us more treatment options for our patients, especially those with cancers that are hard to treat or where existing treatment options may have run out. Please click here to find out more about the CyberKnife.

The Mount Vernon Cancer Centre is located in Northwood, Middlesex and supports hospitals in Hertfordshire, North-west London and parts of the Thames Valley.

Two additional specialist services, which are the responsibility of the cancer centre team, exist on the Mount Vernon site:

• The Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre
• Michael Sobell House (provides specialist palliative care services)

Supporting the cancer centre and our patients at Mount Vernon is a further, independently run unit:

• The Paul Strickland Scanner Centre
