Screening & Tests

Breast screening when performed regularly is a proven way to detect early breast cancer. Early detection increases the potential of a successful treatment and recovery. At St Vincent’s Northside Breast Health Centre, we specialise in routine breast screening, diagnostic assessment for all diseases of the breast and consultation services. We employ the triple test approach to breast screening to maximise the accuracy of detection. Our approach combines physical breast examination, breast imaging and biopsy (if required).

Bowel Cancer

We offer highly specialised services including treatment, care and support to those diagnosed with bowel cancer (also known as colorectal cancer).

When you receive bowel cancer treatment at St Vincent’s Private Hospital Northside, you are cared for by an expert multidisciplinary team of health professionals. Our dedicated cancer team includes Clinical Nurse Consultants, Colorectal Surgeons, Medical Oncologists and Radiation Oncologists. Please contact us for more information.

Management

Our team of Colorectal Surgeons, Clinical Nurse Consultants and other health professionals collaborate and work together to develop and recommend optimal treatment options and plans. Treatment plans may involve more than one treatment option, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. When performing surgical procedures to remove colorectal cancers, our specialist Colorectal Surgeons employ minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Lung Cancer

Our team of Specialists collaborate to assess, diagnose, recommend treatment options and achieve the very best surgical and medical outcomes for those with lung cancer.

Lung cancer management is becoming increasingly complex. Symptoms, speed of growth and patterns of local and distant spread all vary. Compounded by complex health issues, these factors pose a unique challenge to clinical teams charged with care. We employ a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the best possible care and treatment of those with lung cancer. Please contact us for more information.

Urological Cancer

We embrace new technologies designed to enhance procedures, treatment and care, including robotic systems used in robotic assisted surgeries.

Patients who come to us for treatment of urological cancers will benefit from a less invasive surgical technique available to our surgeons. Robotic systems support our Urologists when performing certain surgical procedures, improving surgical vision, access and control. Our Urologists are highly skilled in performing Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomies. A Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (RALP) is the surgical removal of the prostate gland with the aid of a robotic surgical system. Please contact us for more information.
