Cancer care frequently involves surgery alongside medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology and other specialties. Treatment decisions are considered in the context of the individual patient's diagnosis, stage, overall health and goals.
Surgical oncology care across major solid tumour sites, with treatment selected according to the disease and individual patient requirements.
Evaluation and surgical management of cancers involving the oral cavity, throat, thyroid and related head and neck structures.
Surgical options for breast cancer including breast-conserving procedures and mastectomy when indicated.
Surgical management of cancers involving the gastrointestinal tract, based on tumour location and stage.
Multidisciplinary surgical care for cancers of the colon, rectum and related colorectal conditions.
The consultation is focused on understanding the disease, discussing realistic treatment options and helping patients make informed decisions.
A surgical oncologist specialises in the role of surgery within cancer treatment. A consultation can help determine whether an operation is appropriate, what the goals of surgery are and how surgery may be integrated with other cancer treatments.
For patients seeking a second opinion, the consultation can also provide an independent review of existing reports and proposed treatment.
