Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland and can range from slow-growing to more aggressive forms. Early detection is key to effective treatment. Dr Carla Perna uses advanced therapies and a patient-centred approach, creating tailored treatment plans and ensuring men feel supported, informed, and reassured at every stage of their care.
Renal cancer begins in the kidneys and can affect overall health and daily comfort. Using SABR (Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy), Dr Carla Perna offers a highly precise, non-invasive treatment designed to target kidney tumours accurately while sparing healthy tissue. This approach supports effective tumour control, preserved kidney function, and improved patient comfort throughout care.
Testicular cancer develops in the male reproductive glands and is most common in younger men. It often presents with a lump, swelling, or discomfort. Dr Carla Perna combines precise diagnostic methods with compassionate care, guiding each patient through treatment with transparency, understanding, and a focus on achieving the best possible outcome.
Oligometastatic cancer refers to cancer that has spread but only to a limited number of sites, offering more opportunities for targeted treatment. Dr Carla Perna applies the latest radiotherapy and systemic options, carefully assessing each case to provide a personalised plan aimed at controlling the disease and maintaining the highest quality of life.

Every patient’s cancer is different, and several treatment options may be available. Dr Carla Perna takes time to explain what each option involves, including potential benefits and risks, before guiding patients toward the treatment most suitable for their specific case. The choice is always made together, ensuring the patient feels confident and informed.
Targeted therapies are treatments designed to attack specific cancer cells while sparing much of the surrounding healthy tissue. They focus on the genes, proteins, or environment that cancer cells depend on to grow and survive. These therapies can be more precise than traditional treatments and are often used alongside other approaches to improve outcomes.
Finishing cancer treatment does not mean the journey ends. Patients continue to see their oncologist for up to five years in follow-up appointments. These visits ensure progress is carefully monitored, while also supporting patients in maintaining healthy habits such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and emotional well-being, all essential for living a healthy and fulfilling life after treatment.
