Cancers We Treat
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer refers to the abnormal growth of cells within the breast. While it predominantly affects women, it can also occur in men, though far less commonly.
Bone Cancer
Bone and soft tissue cancers, known as sarcomas, are rare cancers that develop in the body’s connective and supporting tissues. Bone sarcomas begin in bone-forming or cartilage-forming cells, while soft tissue sarcomas may arise in muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, or other connective tissues.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the skin. It most commonly occurs on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, scalp, ears, neck, arms, and hands, but it can develop anywhere, including areas that receive little or no sun exposure.
Eye Cancer
Eye cancer develops when abnormal cells grow in or around the eye. It may begin within the eyeball, on the surface of the eye, in the eyelid, or in tissues surrounding the eye. Cancer that begins in the eye is called primary eye cancer.
Genitourinary Cancer
Genitourinary cancers develop in the organs of the urinary system and the male reproductive system. They include cancers of the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate, testicles, and penis.
Gastrointestinal Cancer
Gastrointestinal (GI) Oncology is the branch of cancer care dedicated to cancers of the digestive system — a group of organs that includes the food pipe (oesophagus), stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, gall bladder and bile ducts.
Gynaecological Cancer
The Gynaecologic oncology department offers an integrated approach to the diagnosis and surgical management of women’s cancers of the reproductive system. These include cervical cancer, ovarian cancer (includes fallopian tube and peritoneal) , pelvic masses, uterine cancer, vaginal cancer and vulvar cancer of the female reproductive system.
Hematological Cancer
Hematological cancers, more commonly known as blood cancers, are cancers that begin in the bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside our bones where blood cells are produced) or in the lymphatic system (the network of tissues and organs that helps the body fight infection). They occur when abnormal blood cells begin growing out of control, crowding out and interrupting the function of healthy blood cells that are needed to fight infection, carry oxygen and help blood clot.
Head and Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancers develop in the mouth, throat, voice box, nose, sinuses, salivary glands, and other structures within the head and neck. Most begin in the squamous cells lining these areas and are therefore called squamous cell carcinomas.
Neurological Cancer
Neurological cancer is cancer of the brain or spine. It occurs when cells inside your brain reproduce uncontrollably, forming a mass. This mass, also called a tumour, can be cancerous (high grade, malignant) or noncancerous (low grade, benign).
Pediatric Cancer
Paediatric cancers are cancers that occur in children and young people, typically up to the age of fourteen. While paediatric cancer is rare compared to adult cancers, the types of cancer that develop in children, their symptoms, and the way they need to be diagnosed and treated can differ significantly from adult cancers — which is why children deserve, and need, specialised care from a team experienced specifically in treating young patients.
Thoracic Cancer
Thoracic cancer refers to cancers that develop within the chest. These may arise in the lungs, airways, pleura, thymus, mediastinum, chest wall, or esophagus. Lung cancer is the most common thoracic cancer, but each of these diseases has distinct biological features and treatment requirements.
Endocrine & Neuroendocrine Cancers
Endocrine and neuroendocrine cancers develop in hormone-producing glands or specialised neuroendocrine cells distributed throughout the body. This group includes thyroid cancer, malignant adrenal and parathyroid tumours, and neuroendocrine tumours arising most often in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas or lungs.

Breast cancer refers to the abnormal growth of cells within the breast. While it predominantly affects women, it can also occur in men, though far less commonly.
