I offer a comprehensive range of lung cancer services designed to provide my patients the highest level of care. My team, led by a highly skilled thoracic surgeon, is dedicated to delivering personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique condition and needs. Below is an overview of the key services I provide:
Accurate diagnosis is the first critical step in effective lung cancer treatment. My clinic utilises the latest imaging technologies, including CT scans, PET scans, and MRIs, to detect and assess lung cancer. In addition, we perform minimally invasive biopsies, such as endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), to confirm the presence of cancer and determine its stage.
I specialize in a variety of surgical procedures to treat lung cancer, each chosen based on the type, size, and location of the tumour, as well as the overall health of the patient. The primary surgical treatments we offer include:
I am proud to offer minimally invasive surgery options, which reduce recovery time, minimize pain, and lower the risk of complications. These techniques include:
My care extends beyond surgery itself. I provide comprehensive pre-operative assessments to optimise your health before surgery, including pulmonary function tests, nutritional support, and risk assessments. After surgery, my dedicated team will monitor your recovery closely, providing pain management, physical therapy, and support to help you return to everyday life as quickly as possible.
I believe in a collaborative approach to lung cancer treatment. I work closely with a team of oncologists, radiologists, and pulmonologists to ensure that every aspect of your care is coordinated and optimised. This multidisciplinary team meets regularly to discuss each patient’s case, allowing for a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all facets of your health.
After your surgery, I provide ongoing follow-up care to monitor your recovery and detect any potential recurrence of cancer. This includes regular check-ups, imaging tests, and support to manage any long-term effects of treatment. Our goal is to ensure you remain healthy and cancer-free in the years to come.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact our clinic.
Common symptoms include a persistent cough, coughing up blood, shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical evaluation.
Lung cancer is typically diagnosed through imaging tests like chest X-rays or CT scans, followed by a biopsy, where a small tissue sample is taken and examined for cancer cells.
The two main types of lung cancer are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC is more common, while SCLC is more aggressive and often spreads faster.
Treatment options depend on the stage and type of lung cancer and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Often, a combination of treatments is used for the best outcome.
Targeted therapy involves using drugs that specifically target cancer cells' unique characteristics, such as genetic mutations, while sparing healthy cells. This is often used for advanced lung cancer or for those with specific genetic markers.
Immunotherapy boosts the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. It is often used in cases of advanced lung cancer or when other treatments are not effective.
Early detection is possible through low-dose CT screening, which is recommended for high-risk individuals, such as long-term smokers or those with a family history of lung cancer. Early detection increases the chances of successful treatment.
The primary risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. Other factors include exposure to secondhand smoke, radon gas, asbestos, and other carcinogens, as well as a family history of lung cancer.
Yes, in some cases, especially when surgery is not an option, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy may be used as primary treatments to control or reduce the cancer.
Quitting smoking significantly reduces your risk of lung cancer, even if you have been a long-term smoker. The longer you remain smoke-free, the lower your risk of developing lung cancer.
Lung cancer treatment varies depending on the type, stage, and individual patient factors. Your care team will discuss a personalized treatment plan, which may involve a combination of therapies, regular follow-up visits, and supportive care.
Side effects from lung cancer treatment can include fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, and pain. Our team provides comprehensive support, including medications, nutritional guidance, and rehabilitation services, to help manage these effects.
