Part one · Surgical cancer care

How surgery may help.

Surgery can play an important role in treating some cancers. It is often one part of a wider plan that may include other specialists, such as oncologists. Whether surgery is right for you depends on your results, the type and stage of the cancer, and your general health.

Colon and bowel

Assessment and surgery for some colorectal cancers, often by keyhole surgery where suitable.

Breast

Surgical assessment and treatment of breast lumps and some breast cancers.

Stomach

Surgery for some stomach cancers as part of a coordinated plan.

Other abdominal cancers

List to be confirmed by Dr. Vaccianna.

Worried about a symptom?

Get checked, get clarity.

A change in bowel habits that lasts more than a few weeks
Blood in your stool
A new lump in the breast or elsewhere
Weight loss you cannot explain
Ongoing indigestion or difficulty swallowing

These symptoms can have many causes, and most are not cancer. An assessment is needed to find out.

Questions

Common questions.

Can every cancer be removed with surgery?
+

No. Some cancers may be treated with surgery, depending on the type, stage, location and your overall health. Others are best treated in other ways. Dr. Vaccianna will explain what applies to you.

Do I need a referral?
+

Not always. Many patients are referred by their doctor after tests. If you are worried about a symptom, you can book a consultation directly.

Will I be treated by a team?
+

Cancer care often involves more than one specialist. Where needed, Dr. Vaccianna coordinates with oncologists and other doctors involved in your care.

Are hemorrhoids serious?
+

Hemorrhoids are common and usually not serious, but bleeding should always be checked, because other conditions can cause it too.
