Treatment for early-stage melanomas usually includes surgery to remove the melanoma. A very thin melanoma may be removed entirely during the biopsy and require no further treatment. Otherwise, your surgeon will remove the cancer as well as a border of normal skin and a layer of tissue beneath the skin. For people with early-stage melanomas, this may be the only treatment needed.

Melanoma Surgery

Immunotherapy is a drug treatment that helps your immune system to fight cancer. Your body's disease-fighting immune system might not attack cancer because the cancer cells produce proteins that help them hide from the immune system cells. Immunotherapy works by interfering with that process.

Immunotherapy is often recommended after surgery for melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes or to other areas of the body. When melanoma can't be removed completely with surgery, immunotherapy treatments might be injected directly into the melanoma.

Immunotherapy

Gastroscopy, also known as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, is a safe and minimally invasive examination to view the lining of the oesophagus (food pipe), stomach and small intestine.

It is used to diagnose stomach problems and perform biopsies (tissue samples for further study).

Gastroscopy

Cancer treatment is the procedure to remove, destroy or restrict the growth of cancer cells in your body. Oncology is the medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

There are many different approaches to treat cancer. The 3 most common approaches are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The ideal treatment option is selected based on the location of the tumour, stage of the cancer and other patient factors.

GI tract cancer treatment

Treatment often involves medications like tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to dissolve the clot or endovascular procedures to remove or break up the clot.

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)

Occupational therapy (OT) is a healthcare profession that focuses on helping individuals of all ages develop or regain the skills needed to perform meaningful and purposeful activities, or "occupations," that are essential for daily life. Occupational therapists (OTs) work with individuals who may have physical, cognitive, sensory, or emotional challenges that impact their ability to engage in daily activities independently. 

Occupational therapy

Treatment depends on the type of AMD you have. Dry AMD – there's no treatment, but vision aids can help reduce the effect on your life. Read about living with AMD. Wet AMD – you may need regular eye injections and, very occasionally, a light treatment called photodynamic therapy, to stop your vision getting worse.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment

Retinal detachment surgery involves reattaching the retina to the back of the eye and sealing any breaks or holes in the retina. The treatment success rate is high, with around nine out of 10 retinas able to be reattached. Older people are at higher risk of retinal detachment.

Retinal detachment surgery

An epilepsy surgery is an operation to the brain which, depending on the type of surgery, may consist of:

Removing the area of the brain that causes seizures
Disrupting nervous pathways that seizure impulses take
Implanting a device to treat epilepsy

Epilepsy surgery

Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, is a medical technique that combines the precision of robotic technology with the skills and expertise of a surgeon. It is a minimally invasive surgical approach that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control.

Comprehensive care for allergy disorders involves a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose, treat, and manage allergic conditions effectively. Allergies can encompass a wide range of symptoms and triggers, so comprehensive care aims to address the specific needs and concerns of each individual. 

Comprehensive care for allergy disorders

Various allergy tests, such as skin prick tests, blood tests (IgE antibody testing), and patch tests, can help identify specific allergens that trigger your symptoms.

Allergy Testing

TURBT is the procedure done to diagnose and to treat early stage bladder cancer at the same time. The initials stand for transurethral resection of a bladder tumor. This procedure is the first-line diagnostic test and treatment for bladder cancer.

Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT)

This surgery involves removing the testicle and spermatic cord where it exits the body to identify and likely treat the majority of cancers localized to the testis. As a male fetus develops, the testes develop near the fetal kidneys.

Radical orchidectomy

This is a less invasive procedure than surgical clipping, and it may be safer. Endovascular treatment involves accessing the aneurysm by threading a small plastic tube called a catheter through the artery. The catheter is advanced into the brain arteries. Then coils or stents may be placed.

Endovascular treatment

Surgical clipping is a procedure to close off an aneurysm. The neurosurgeon removes a section of your skull to access the aneurysm. The neurosurgeon then locates the blood vessel that feeds the aneurysm. The surgeon places a tiny metal clip on the neck of the aneurysm to stop blood flow into it.

Surgical clipping

Influenza vaccinations, often referred to as flu shots, are vaccines designed to provide protection against the influenza virus. Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe symptoms and can lead to hospitalization and even death, especially among vulnerable populations. The influenza vaccine is a critical tool in preventing the spread of the virus and reducing the severity of illness.

Influenza vaccinations

These relax and widen the airways, providing rapid relief during an asthma attack.

Bronchodilators

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure to bypass (go around) blocked coronary (heart) arteries to restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle. It is commonly known as a heart bypass.

In a CABG, doctors will use healthy blood vessels from another part of your body, such as leg veins or internal mammary (breast) arteries, and sew them around the blocked artery. This creates an alternate path for oxygen-rich blood to bypass the blocked part of the coronary artery and restore normal blood flow to the heart.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery uses small chest incisions and laparoscopic instruments to gain access to the heart. In contrast, traditional heart surgeries use a large cut in the chest to split the breast bone (also known as a sternotomy) and gain access to the heart.

As heart surgery techniques and technology improve over time, more conditions may be treated through minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery. This technique can help to reduce pain and scarring while maintaining safety and efficacy.
