Advanced treatment for gastrointestinal cancers with comprehensive, personalised care
Dr. Amir Ashrafi specialises in the surgical treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, providing expert care for patients throughout Northern Sydney, Westmead and surrounding areas. Our approach combines advanced surgical techniques with comprehensive cancer care to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Gastrointestinal oncology focuses on the timely diagnosis and effective treatment of cancers affecting the digestive system. Our comprehensive approach combines surgical expertise with the latest treatment protocols to provide optimal care for each patient.
Advanced surgical procedures for the removal of gastrointestinal tumors and affected tissues. Once the diagnosis is confirmed by the surgical oncologist, patients may need other treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy before or after their surgical treatment.
Advanced laparoscopic surgical options for suitable cases, promoting faster recovery.
Thorough evaluation including medical history, imaging studies, and development of a preliminary treatment plan.
Collaboration with multidisciplinary team to develop a comprehensive, personalised treatment approach.
Implementation of the treatment plan, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, and other targeted therapies.
Ongoing monitoring, regular check-ups, and adjustments to care plan as needed for optimal outcomes.
We treat a wide range of gastrointestinal cancers including colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Each case receives a personalised treatment approach based on the specific type and stage of cancer, potentially involving other expert specialists as required.
Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these approaches. We offer the latest treatment options and work closely with oncologists to provide comprehensive care.
Recovery time varies depending on the type and extent of surgery. While some patients may recover within a few weeks, others may need several months. We provide detailed recovery plans and support throughout the process.
We offer comprehensive support services including nutritional counseling, psychological support, pain management, and coordination with other specialists. Our team works together to address all aspects of your care.
