Skin Cancer

Private cancer care offers rapid access to cancer treatment, continuity with a dedicated consultant, and personalised support. Dr James Wilson explains why treatment at a private oncology clinic is a practical, expert-led option when you need clarity, control, and prompt treatment.

A diagnosis of stage 4 cancer turns your world upside down. You're probably searching for answers late at night, reading conflicting advice, and wondering what your options really are. I've spent over 20 years treating advanced cancers, and I know that clarity matters as much as the treatment itself. Today's therapies, including immunotherapy and advanced radiotherapy techniques like SABR, offer more hope than ever before. But time matters, and so does having the right specialist in your corner. This guide explains what stage 4 cancer means, what treatments are available, and how to take the next step with confidence. It, hopefully, answers some of the questions that you you may have. If you'd like to discuss your individual situation, you're welcome to request a consultation.
