Multidisciplinary
Head & Neck
Cancer Clinic
St Vincent's Hospital
Melbourne provides a comprehensive head and neck cancer program and prides
itself as a centre of excellence in the management of head and neck cancer
patients.
The
multidisciplinary clinic focuses on assessment and treatment of all malignancies
of the head and neck, and only utilises staff that specialise in head and neck
oncology.
The
multidisciplinary cancer clinic is a combined initiative of St Vincent's Health
Melbourne, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear
Hospital. This multidisciplinary approach to head and neck cancer patients
enables a mechanism for multidisciplinary input into the treatment, planning and
ongoing management of our head and neck cancer patients.
Clinic objectives
-
To provide an opportunity for multidisciplinary discussion of
all new cases of head and neck cancer presenting to the
surgical and oncology team.
-
To ensure all new patients presenting with a malignancy
have their case discussed by a multidisciplinary team with
all available information about their case.
-
To determine, in light of all available information and
evidence, accurate disease staging and the most
appropriate treatment and care plan for each individual
patient.
