Paula V. Marlton is a Hematologist-Oncologist based in Woolloongabba, QLD. Her practice is located at 199 Ipswich Rd, Woolloongabba, QLD 4102.
Paula looks after people with blood cancers and blood conditions. That can include cancers like Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, chronic and acute leukaemias such as AML and CLL, and several types of lymphoma, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. At times, care may also cover smaller cell types like SLL, plus mantle cell lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma.
Some patients come in with issues tied to blood counts and how the body is coping. For example, thrombocytopenia (low platelets) can affect bleeding and bruising, and it is often something that needs close monitoring. Others may need help managing complications that show up alongside cancer, like infections including pneumonia.
Paula also works with people who have had treatment in the past and then run into side effects. One example is a hemolytic transfusion reaction, where the body reacts to a blood transfusion. Situations like this can be stressful, and having clear, calm follow-up matters.
When someone is dealing with a new diagnosis, the path can feel overwhelming. In many cases, care is about turning up the support early, checking symptoms, and making sure the plan fits what the person is going through. Treatments and next steps can be different from person to person, depending on the type of cancer and the person’s overall health.
Experience and education details aren’t listed here, but her role in haematology and oncology means she is used to working with complex blood-related illnesses and ongoing treatment plans. Over time, that kind of work usually includes lots of monitoring, review visits, and practical problem-solving when symptoms change.
Research and clinical trials can be part of cancer care, especially when new options are being studied. Clinical trial details aren’t listed here, so it’s best to ask about what may be available for your particular diagnosis.
