Surgical Oncology
Our surgical oncologists perform precision tumour resection with oncoplastic reconstruction when appropriate. Surgical options may include:
- Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) with repeat resection for muscle-invasive disease
- Radical cystoprostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection (±anterior pelvic exenteration in females)
- Ileal conduit, continent pouch, or neobladder reconstruction based on patient factors
Radiation Therapy
Trimodal therapy: TURBT + concurrent chemoradiation (cisplatin) + external beam radiotherapy 40-45 Gy…
Immunotherapy
Checkpoint inhibitors activate your immune system to fight cancer cells. Our team uses Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) intravesical induction weekly for 6 weeks, then maintenance for 1-3 years for appropriate patients.
Your treatment plan will be individualised based on your cancer stage, molecular profile, performance status, and personal preferences. Tumour boards at major centres review all cases to ensure comprehensive, evidence-based care.
