I felt he listened to me. He explained every aspect of my treatment/condition in language I understood!

From the start Dr Burcombe has been kind, professional and supportive.
I felt very vulnerable when first diagnosed but he made you feel you were in good hands. He explained everything very calmly so you understood what was going on and at every stage of the treatment. I felt his whole persona is "we can beat this together" .

Dr Burcombe is very knowledgeable, efficient, reassuring and approachable. I am very happy indeed with the level of care I have received from him and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Russell Burcombe has always been a tremendous support throughout my cancer "journey". Willing to listen, he has a sympathetic ear, and can be relied upon to go the extra mile in exploring potential treatment options.

Profile
I qualified at The London Hospital Medical College in 1991.
Four years later I entered oncology, training at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, The Middlesex and St. Bartholomew’s Hospitals before becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists in 1998.
I interrupted my training to complete a Research Fellowship at Cancer Research UK’s Gray Laboratory then broadened my experience with a spell as Consultant Radiation Oncologist in Christchurch, New Zealand.
In March, 2004, I was appointed Consultant Clinical Oncologist at the Kent Oncology Centre, Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust (MTW).
As Trustee of Breast Cancer Kent, I have been closely involved in fund-raising to provide state-of-the-art equipment for the Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells Breast Care Centres.
I work closely with Macmillan, Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Now, supporting these great charities providing support and information for patients.
I believe it is important to promote secondary breast cancer initiatives and my efforts in this arena have met with strong approval from professionals and patients.
I contribute to the Kent Oncology Centre programme of clinical audit and research, have publications in peer-reviewed medical journals, and have delivered presentations at national breast and lung cancer meetings.
