Harbour Cancer & Wellness is a leading cancer treatment centre with clinics in Auckland’s North Shore and Newmarket. Our specialists integrate cutting edge treatment, prescribed exercise and supportive therapies to provide exceptional care for people with cancer. By participating in world-leading clinical trials we can offer our patients access medicines and cancer treatments that would otherwise not be accessible in New Zealand.
OUR SERVICES
Cutting-edge Treatment
We provide cancer treatments across all tumour streams including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, hormonal treatment, haematology services and symptom management.
Oncology Physiotherapy and Exercise referrals
Prescribed exercise treatment is considered the gold standard of cancer care. Hands-on oncology physiotherapy treatment and tailored exercise sessions can minimise side effects of cancer treatment and maximise clinical outcomes.
We assess options for each patient and refer to preferred community-based providers most suited to support specific needs.
Pharmaceutical Guidance
Our in-house pharmacist provides expert knowledge of pharmaceutical treatments, as well as information and education on complementary medicine.
Genetic Counselling
We have Genetic Counselling services available which assist both oncologist and patient to understand the genetic underpinnings of a diagnosis and to identify potential treatment options, information on ongoing follow up (post all treatment) and potentiality for other cancer risk. A Genetic Counsellor can also assist with discussing the results as a family; providing either reassurance or predictive testing options with risk assessment and screening advice.
Psychological Counselling referrals
For patients and their support people, seeing a psychologist gives the opportunity to talk confidentially for help with understanding the implications of their diagnosis, decision-making for treatment, coping with treatment, anxiety and stress, low mood and depression, grief and loss.
Dietitian referrals
A dietitian provides personalised eating plans and nutrition recommendations to help manage treatment side effects which may include nausea, weight loss, weight gain, low energy, fatigue, mouth pain and painful swallowing. Specialist advice covers managing changes to gastrointestinal function and digestion, as well as tips on reducing inflammation and improving immune function.
Massage Therapy referrals
Specialist massage therapy can be a valuable part of treatment and recovery.
