James P. Scurry is a gynecologic oncologist based in Hunter New England at Lookout Rd, New Lambton Heights, NSW 2305. He helps people who are dealing with conditions of the cervix, vagina, vulva and other gynaecology-related cancers, as well as a range of ongoing vulvar skin problems.
In many cases, patients come in because something has changed. That might be pain, swelling, bleeding, a sore that doesn’t settle, or skin that looks different and keeps coming back. James also looks after people with cancers such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and vaginal cancer. He may also be involved when there are issues around vulvar cancer and related problems that need close specialist care.
There’s also a big focus on long-term vulvar and vaginal health. Conditions like lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, and lichen simplex chronicus can be tricky. They often need ongoing management, careful symptom checks, and a plan that makes sense day to day. At times, people also present with vulvodynia, vulvovaginitis, vulvar irritation, and recurring yeast infections. James works with patients to sort out what’s going on and what can help.
Some patients are seen for infections and skin-related conditions too, including genital warts and other vulvar skin changes. He can also help with questions that come with painful dryness, such as in Sjogren syndrome, where dry mouth may be part of the picture as well. Other non-cancer issues can include psoriasis and vitiligo, depending on the person and their symptoms.
James’ approach is practical and calm. He understands that receiving news about cancer, or living with a long-lasting condition, can be stressful. Over time, good care is about more than one visit. It’s about making a clear plan, explaining options in plain language, and supporting follow-up.
He has specialist training in gynaecologic oncology and uses that knowledge to guide treatment decisions. If research or clinical trials are relevant for a specific situation, those options can be discussed as part of overall care. That way, treatment stays focused on what fits best for the individual patient and their needs.
