Dr Hayden Snow

Hayden Snow is a surgeon specialising in the management of soft tissue sarcoma and melanoma. Hayden completed his surgical training at Western Health in Melbourne and then undertook a fellowship in Sarcoma and Melanoma Surgery at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, UK. After his fellowship, he continued at the Marsden as a consultant surgeon before returning to Melbourne to work at Peter MacCallum in the Sarcoma and Melanoma tumour streams.

Hayden has a particular interest in regional treatments of soft tissue tumours and melanoma, having trained in the technique of Isolated Limb Perfusion (ILP) whilst working in the UK. He now leads Peter Mac’s limb perfusion service and is the only surgeon in Australia accredited to perform ILP with tumour necrosis factor-alpha. This important procedure in the management of patients with advanced tumours of the limbs is effective at preventing amputation in many patients.

Hayden is involved in clinical research and collaborates internationally with other researchers particularly in the fields of ILP and retroperitoneal sarcoma. In addition, he has an interest in surgical education, involved in teaching of medical students through to surgical trainees as well as sitting on several medical education committees across Peter Mac.
