Our Services
Surgeons within the department hold appointments at St Vincent’s Private and Public Hospitals. All the members of the department have undergone advanced post-fellowship training in Surgical Oncology at prestigious overseas centres.
Surgeons in the department work closely with specialists in Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Cancer Genetics within the St Vincent’s campus to provide truly multidisciplinary care for patients with cancer. Our aim is to provide excellence in cancer care from early diagnosis to ongoing management and follow up.
