Our St Vincent's, Melbourne team may be able to offer you access to the GenesisCare global network of clinical trials. For further information on clinical trial participation, please speak with your treating doctor.

Allied Health Services

  • St Vincent’s Hospital dietician and speech pathologist (conditions apply)

One of your treatment team will discuss the most suitable options with you.

Exercise Therapy

Considerable research and clinical evidence has established that exercise may be beneficial for people with cancer; however, there is no one-size-fits-all
approach.1,2 Every person’s circumstances are unique and these should be taken into account. Tailored exercise programs designed by an exercise professional that include both aerobic and resistance training activities have been shown to provide benefits.3 It is suggested to speak with your doctor and treatment team about appropriate options for you.
