About me
Dr Mark Tuthill MB BS, BSc, PhD, MRCP is a Consultant Medical Oncologist for NHS patients at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford and sees private patients at the Nuffield Manor Hospital, in Oxford and Genesis Care Oxford. He specialises in the treatment of early and recurrent cancer with medication including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, hormones, and cancer growth inhibitors.
Experience
Dr Tuthill qualified from University College London in 2002, after completing his BSc Honours degree in Immunology and Cell Pathology in 2001. He became a member of the Royal College of Physicians (UK) in 2005. Dr Tuthill was trained in Medical Oncology in London at the Royal Marsden, Hammersmith, Charing Cross and the Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals. He was awarded a postgraduate diploma in Oncology from the Institute of Cancer Research in 2009.
He was granted a Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinical Research Fellowship in 2009 and completed his PhD studies in tumour immunology at the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre and Imperial College, London in 2014.

Treatments provided by Dr Mark Tuthill
Having a diagnosis of cancer can be a highly stressful and difficult time for patients and their families. Dr Tuthill uses a patient-centred approach to help those suffering from cancer to review and understand their treatment options.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy drugs are used to kill cancer cells and can be used to prevent cancer from returning after breast, bladder, lung, and testes surgery or to treat recurrent cancer.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy treatments for cancer are drugs which harness the immune system to kill cancer cells. Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionised the treatment of many forms of cancer including lung cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer and may become a treatment for some forms of breast cancer.
Cancer growth inhibitors
Cancer growth inhibitors are used to treat cancers of the prostate, lung, kidney and breast. Many cancer growth inhibitors target specific cancer mutations within the cancer cells such as Herceptin in breast cancer, cancer growth receptors in kidney cancer, and the testosterone receptor in prostate cancer.
Hormone therapy
Breast cancer can be treated by lowering the female hormone oestrogen, and prostate cancer can be treated by reducing the male hormone testosterone. Often it is possible to combine cancer growth inhibitors with hormone therapy. The side-effects of these treatments can be minimised by using various techniques.
