About of Penelope M. Webb

Penelope M. Webb is a Gynecologic Oncologist working in Herston, QLD, at 300 Herston Road. If you’re dealing with cancer affecting the female reproductive system, Penelope’s care is built around getting the right treatment plan, and making sure you understand what’s next.


In many cases, people see her for help with ovarian cancer or endometrial cancer. She also supports patients with other gynaecology concerns that can feel just as stressful day to day, like endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts. Hormone changes are a big part of this work too, so she also looks after issues linked with menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).


At times, care can include procedures and ongoing management such as hysterectomy, oophorectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, and help with family planning steps like tubal ligation. She can also be involved in fertility-related care, including infertility, and she offers services such as intrauterine device (IUD) insertion where needed.


Women’s health doesn’t always sit in one neat box. Some patients also come in with broader health problems that affect wellbeing and treatment, for example obesity, long-term weight and nutrition concerns, or hormone and metabolism issues like hypothyroidism. She can also look at symptoms connected to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and other conditions that can affect the pelvis.


Penelope’s experience is focused on gynaecology cancer care and related women’s health conditions. Details about her education, research work, and any formal clinical trial involvement are not listed in this profile.


If you’d like to understand whether there are any research studies or trials that might fit your situation, it’s best to ask the clinic directly. They can also help with referrals and discuss what support is available alongside treatment.
