Our Services

At East Coast Oncology, we offer a range of services designed to support every stage of the cancer treatment journey. From diagnosis to aftercare, we focus on delivering compassionate care, advanced treatment options, and ongoing support.

Cancer Treatment

We offer specialised treatment for solid tumours and chronic haematological cancers. Our treatment options include:

  • Chemotherapy: Tailored chemotherapy regimens are designed to target the cancer cells while minimising side effects. Our team adjusts treatment based on the type and stage of the cancer.

  • Radiation Therapy: We use advanced radiation technology to precisely target tumours. This therapy aims to destroy cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

  • Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy: These newer therapies attack cancer cells more specifically and can be used for certain cancers, increasing treatment success while reducing harm to healthy cells.

Haematological Cancer Treatment

East Coast Oncology specialises in the treatment of blood cancers like CML, CLL, and lymphoma. We provide:

  • Bone Marrow Biopsies & Testing: Our diagnostic services help us accurately diagnose blood cancers. Early diagnosis leads to more effective treatment.

  • Blood Cancer Therapies: We provide both traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapies to manage chronic leukaemias and lymphoma. Immunotherapy may also be considered to boost the body’s natural defences.

Patient Support

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the cancer. Our clinic offers a wide range of support services, including:

  • Psychosocial Support: Our team offers counselling services to help patients and their families cope with the emotional challenges of cancer treatment.

  • Nutritional Support: We work with dieticians to ensure patients maintain optimal nutrition during their treatment.

  • Pain Management: We prioritise pain relief to ensure that our patients are as comfortable as possible throughout their treatment process.

Additional Information

Our clinic is equipped with the latest technology, ensuring that patients receive the most effective treatments available. We work with a team of oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons, ensuring a multi-disciplinary approach to care. This team-based model allows us to create personalised treatment plans for each patient.

At East Coast Oncology, we strive to make cancer treatment as accessible and comfortable as possible. We offer ongoing care and support even after the completion of treatment. If you are looking for a second opinion, new treatment options, or ongoing care, we are here to assist.
