Maher K. Gandhi is a Hematologist-Oncologist based in Brisbane, QLD. You can find the practice at the corner of College and Cooper Roads, Brisbane 4072. This is a part of the body and health that can feel confusing, so the focus is on clear explanations and steady care through the ups and downs.
In many cases, Maher looks after people dealing with blood cancers and related blood conditions. That can include types of lymphoma such as B-Cell Lymphoma, DLBCL, follicular lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and other lymphoma forms. He also treats leukaemia and related conditions, including CLL and SLL, plus chronic B-Cell leukaemia.
There are also broader blood and immune problems that can come with similar symptoms. Maher K. Gandhi helps manage things like adult immune thrombocytopenia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), where platelet counts can drop and bruising or bleeding risk can become a worry. At times, care also covers thrombocytopenia and purpura more generally, depending on what the blood tests show.
Some people see him because of blood clot issues, including blood clots that need careful monitoring and treatment planning. Others may be dealing with bleeding concerns, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, which can have many causes and needs a careful, practical approach.
Alongside blood cancers, Maher also works with solid cancers that can involve the chest and lungs. This includes lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and mediastinal tumours. In particular, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) can be part of the mix when lymph nodes and chest structures are affected.
Life can change a lot during treatment, especially for patients with other health needs. Maher K. Gandhi works with people who have had a kidney transplant too, as well as those with conditions that can connect to the immune system. He also helps manage issues like hypophosphatemia when it shows up during investigations or treatment.
While many plans are based on what works best today, there’s also a need to stay up to date with new research and new treatment options. Maher looks at the latest evidence and the results from major studies when it helps guide care. Clinical trials can be discussed when they fit the situation, but the main goal stays the same: thoughtful treatment, clear next steps, and support from diagnosis onwards.
