Cancer services stay in Munster

NEWS that pancreatic cancer treatment services will remain in Cork and not be centralised to Dublin has come as a relief to sufferers living in Munster.

Surgery for pancreatic, liver and bile duct cancer, which had been undertaken at Mercy University Hospital (MUH), will be transferred to Cork University Hospital.

For the past four years, MUH had treated hundreds of cancer patients, including the father of Seamus Coleman.
