Our Medical oncology service, with particular sub-specialisation in melanoma and lung cancer, provides expert advice, co-ordinates additional services you may require, and arranges any systemic therapy, either tablets or infusions, that may be recommended to you.
If your treatment recommendation is to pursue infusion based systemic therapy (e.g. chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy) then these infusions are expertly managed by nursing staff through Calvary North Adelaide or Calvary Central Districts hospital infusion suites.
If there is a need for an inpatient stay for medical management, then this is co-ordinated for you through Calvary North Adelaide or Calvary Central Districts hospital.
Our Doctor has an active clinical trial portfolio which may suit your situation.
Our administration staff are friendly and contactable to help with appointment bookings, co-ordinate existing appointments and are there to convey messages to your medical team.
