London Oncologist: Lung Cancer and Skin Cancer Specialist

You've been diagnosed with lung cancer, melanoma or skin cancer

You need a clear treatment plan fast. I provide comprehensive care from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, whether your cancer is early-stage or advanced. You'll see Dr James Wilson, London Oncologist, at every appointment, coordinating everything from scans and biopsies to the most appropriate treatment for you - all delivered within days, not weeks.

You have cancer that has spread to just a few sites (oligometastatic disease)

When cancer has spread to 1-5 specific locations, you have more options than you might think. SABR (stereotactic radiotherapy) can precisely target these spots with remarkable success rates—over 90% tumour control for treated areas. This applies to any cancer type: lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, melanoma and others.

Your cancer treatment is working - except in one or two spots (oligoprogressive disease)

If most of your cancer is controlled but one or two areas are growing, you don't need to abandon a working treatment. SABR can target those problem spots while you continue your current therapy, keeping you on effective treatment longer and saving other options for when you truly need them.

You've been offered palliative care only

If you've been told there are no active treatment options for your cancer, it's worth exploring whether SABR, advanced immunotherapy, proton beam therapy or targeted therapies could offer a different path forward. Not all oncologists have access to these treatments or specialise in them.

You're frustrated with NHS delays and want rapid access to treatment

Time matters with cancer. I can arrange all necessary scans, molecular profiling and treatment within days—not months. You won't lose your NHS care by seeking private treatment for specific aspects of your care. All your records are shared seamlessly so your care remains joined up.

You have more options than you might think

Modern cancer treatment has advanced significantly. When cancer spreads to just a few sites (oligometastatic disease), targeted SABR treatment can eliminate those deposits with 90-95% control rates. For early-stage lung cancer, SABR offers cure rates comparable to surgery without an operation. For advanced melanoma, breakthrough immunotherapies are achieving responses that weren't possible five years ago.

Speed matters

Rather than waiting weeks in NHS queues while your cancer potentially progresses, you can get all necessary scans, biopsies and molecular profiling completed within days. Treatment can start within a week. And you won't lose your NHS care - I work with your existing team to coordinate everything seamlessly.

Here's what makes the difference:

Dr James Wilson, London oncologist, can offer you the full spectrum of treatment options - from curative SABR radiotherapy and proton beam therapy to breakthrough immunotherapies, targeted drugs and chemotherapy, all coordinated as one seamless plan. You're not limited to what's available at a single hospital or through one type of specialist.

No more delays

No more unanswered calls. No more wondering if you're getting the best possible care. You'll receive the right drug treatment for your specific cancer type, molecular profiling to identify targeted therapies, access to clinical trials when appropriate, and rapid-access scans and results, typically same or next day.

Your next step is simple:

Get a clear, personalised assessment of whether this combined approach is right for your situation. You'll have answers within 48 hours, not weeks.

Stop relying on Google for answers and seek expert advice and guidance that cares for you and removes barriers to the care that you need

Why Patients Hesitate

The fears I hear are real:

• "Will I offend my NHS oncologist?"

• "Will I lose my place if I go private for one part of my care?"

• "Can I ever go back to the NHS?"

These concerns are understandable but largely unfounded. Good private practice complements the NHS rather than competing with it.

How Coordination with the NHS Actually Works

Dr James Wilson regularly coordinate with NHS colleagues. We talk. We share information. We ensure your care is seamless, not duplicated.

Sometimes private treatment means accessing therapies that aren't widely commissioned on the NHS - like stereotactic radiotherapy for oligoprogressive disease. This isn't about "jumping ship." It's about using all available options and making them work together.

You can move between NHS and private care as needed. Many of my patients receive systemic therapies through the NHS while having SABR privately, or vice versa. The key is coordination, and that's something we prioritise for every patient.

Why Speed Matters in Cancer Treatment

Here's a practical example: Before starting SABR for oligometastatic disease, you need a PET scan to confirm there are only limited metastatic sites. On the NHS, getting that PET scan scheduled, then reviewed and reported, then starting treatment planning can take weeks.

In private practice, this all typically happens within a week.

Why does speed matter? Because cancer is active. While you're waiting, cancer can grow at existing sites or spread to new ones. The window of opportunity for treatments like SABR can close if delays allow the disease to progress.

This isn't criticism of the NHS - it's simply a reality of resource constraints versus the urgency metastatic cancer demands.

Your NHS Team Understands

NHS doctors are aware that some treatments are more readily available privately. They understand that patients sometimes need to move quickly. In my experience, most NHS oncologists appreciate when their patients can access complementary private care - it often makes their job easier because you return with better disease control.

Going private for specific treatments doesn't mean you're ungrateful for NHS care or that you've abandoned your NHS team. It means you're taking control where you can, when timing matters most.

A Coordinated Approach to Your Cancer Care

My approach is collaborative:

• I review your NHS treatment history and coordinate with your NHS oncologist

• If you're having systemic therapy through the NHS, I ensure SABR timing complements this

• I provide reports to your NHS team so everyone is working from the same information

• You maintain your NHS relationships while accessing treatments that might not be available there
