Systemic cancer therapy

Clinical Oncology

Evidence-based systemic therapies — chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted treatment and hormonal therapy — planned around the individual.

Overview

Clinical oncology is the branch of cancer medicine that manages disease using drug therapy. At North Coast Oncology, systemic treatment is planned alongside radiation and, where relevant, surgical colleagues so that each patient receives a coordinated, guideline-aligned plan rather than a single-modality opinion.

Conditions we treat

  • Breast cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Prostate cancer
  • Head and neck cancers
  • Lymphomas and haematological malignancies (co-managed where appropriate)
