About this specialty
Oncology here covers solid tumours and haematological malignancies, including breast cancer, both small-cell and non-small-cell lung cancer, mediastinal and pleural tumours, pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours, paediatric cancers, and the follow-up of chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Oncology protocols change quickly, and many now depend on molecular markers that may not be available locally. A second opinion before treatment starts — or when the response changes — clarifies whether newer treatment options or suitable clinical trials exist for your case.
