At St Vincent's Cancer Centre, our Medical Oncology clinics specialize in treating patients with diagnosed or suspected solid tumors. We prioritize the well-being of our patients and strive to offer prompt appointments, with new patients usually seen within a few days. Urgent referrals are given immediate attention without delay.

Our commitment to comprehensive care is evident in our multidisciplinary approach. All new patients are discussed at multidisciplinary meetings, ensuring that their cases are thoroughly evaluated by our team of experts. We work collaboratively with Palliative Care, Psychosocial Cancer Care, and other allied health professionals to provide holistic support throughout the patient's journey.

Communication is key in delivering effective cancer care, which is why we maintain regular contact with general practitioners and other health professionals at specific intervals during the patient's treatment. We believe in a collaborative approach, working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.

As a leading institution, we actively participate in clinical trials and collaborate with both Australian and international trial groups. Our active clinical trial portfolio allows us to provide innovative treatment options to our patients, ensuring they have access to the latest advancements in cancer care.

To schedule a new patient appointment, we require medical information, medical images, and a list of current medications. For urgent appointments or patient inquiries, please call 9231 2211 and ask for the Oncology registrar or the on-call Oncologist.
