Welcome
As a Medical Oncologist I specifically specialise in drug treatments for cancers. This includes a wide range of agents including traditional chemotherapy or newer targeted drugs such as kinase inhibitors, antibodies or immunotherapies. Depending on the situation these drugs may be given alone or in many different combinations. I have a specialist interest in new cancer drugs and strive to ensure my patients always get the most effective treatments.
