Peter Robinson passed away from metastatic cancer.
Metastatic cancer refers to a stage of cancer where the disease has spread from its original site to other parts of the body. This occurs when cancer cells detach from the primary tumor, travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and form new tumors in distant organs or tissues. This advanced form of cancer signifies that the disease has progressed beyond its initial location, often making treatment more complex.
Dr. Peter J. Robinson, a respected figure associated with the Royal Society of Chemistry, received care at St Luke's Hospice. Hospices specialize in providing palliative care, focusing on comfort and enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing life-limiting illnesses, such as advanced and metastatic cancer.
