Medical oncology involves using chemotherapy, hormone therapy and other targeted therapy for the treatment of cancer.
The medical oncology service consists of an outpatient service and an in-patient consultation and admission service, with clinics conducted at the Central Coast Cancer Centre at Gosford Hospital and the Cancer Centre at Wyong Hospital.

The department prides itself on its commitment to clinical trials for which it received the NSW Premier’s Award for Outstanding Cancer Research – Innovation in Cancer Clinical Trials, in 2016. In addition, the department remains active in medical education through its affiliation with the University of Newcastle.

Gosford Hospital is the principal referral hospital and trauma centre for the Central Coast, with over 500 inpatient beds and 24/7 access to the emergency department and operating theatres. A recent $368 million dollar redevelopment delivered a new emergency department, ICU, nuclear medicine facility, special care nursery and expanded medical imaging services.

Wyong Hospital is an acute major metropolitan hospital with over 300 beds providing inpatient, outpatient and emergency services to residents in the northern region of the Central Coast. A recent $200 million expansion delivered a new emergency department, ICU, paediatric unit, inpatient wards, theatres and expanded medical imaging services.

In conjunction with the University of Newcastle, CCLHD has recently opened the Central Coast Clinical School and Research Institute on the Gosford Hospital campus, providing additional opportunities in training and research.
