Emily Blyth is a hematologist-oncologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after people who have conditions that affect the blood, the immune system, and some cancers. You might see her when treatment choices are confusing, or when follow-up care matters just as much as the first diagnosis.
In many cases, her work involves blood cancers like chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and B-cell lymphomas. She also supports people with other types of lymphoma, including nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). Over time, that can include planning treatment, managing side effects, and making sure care stays on track.
Emily also helps with transplant-related complications. That can include graft versus host disease (GvHD) after a bone marrow transplant, and other problems that can show up when the immune system is changing. At times, this care comes with infections that need close monitoring, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, chickenpox and shingles, and other viral or immune-related issues. She may also see people with secondary immunodeficiency (SID) and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which can be linked to immune changes.
Some patients are referred because they have ongoing infection risk after organ transplants, including kidney transplant care. Other times, the focus is on how illness and treatment can affect fertility and future family plans. It can be a lot to take in, so the goal is usually simple: clear options, careful follow-up, and practical support along the way.
Emily’s experience covers both blood disorders and cancer care, including complex cases where infections and immune problems overlap. Her training is in haematology and oncology, which helps her manage problems that don’t fit neatly into one box. When research and new treatment options could make a difference, she keeps up with current practice and works with her team to discuss what may be available.
Clinical trials can sometimes be an option, depending on the person and their situation. If trials are relevant, Emily’s team will explain the basics and help decide what fits best.
