Overview
Special clinical interest in breast, lung and gastrointestinal cancer
A regular member of the Breast Cancer and Lung Cancer multidisciplinary group at Northern Beaches Hospital and North Shore Hospital, her engagement within clinical oncology extends insofar as not only to standard of care treatment, but also clinical trials. With close to five years working as a research fellow and investigator at high-profile local and international institutes, including Royal North Shore Hospital, Northern Cancer Institute (both located in St. Leonards’, Sydney), and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Toronto, Canada), Tristan’s contribution to cancer care is as much innovative as it is compassionate when considering the needs of her patients.
Tristan’s approach to patient care is both empathic and holistic, using her consults to not only make considered clinical decisions, but also to understand, communicate, and connect with her patients. In unique and often complex medical problems, Tristan regularly turns to the expert opinion of other recognised peers in oncology through tumour stream meetings – a testament to her dedication to delivering her patients the most suitable, high-quality care.
