Roger L. Milne is an oncologist based in Clayton, VIC. You can find the practice at 246 Clayton Road, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia.
Oncology can mean a lot of things, and people come in with very different needs. Dr Milne helps look after patients dealing with a range of cancers, including breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. At times, this also includes bowel and colorectal-related cancers, plus anal, bladder and lung cancers.
There’s also support for cancers that affect other parts of the body, like pancreatic and stomach cancers, melanoma, and bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma). Some patients are dealing with blood cancers or lymphomas too, such as B-cell lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and multiple myeloma. In many cases, care involves working out the best next steps and keeping treatment plans clear and steady.
While cancer care is a big part of the work, hormonal health also matters. Dr Milne cares for people with menopause and can also help with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and related issues. This includes conditions like premature ovarian failure and the need for procedures such as oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy, where appropriate.
Some patients also need help when symptoms are affecting day-to-day life, including ongoing or acute pain. There’s care for other health concerns that often sit alongside cancer too, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), as these can change how treatment feels and how recovery goes.
Family history can play a role in some cases. Dr Milne supports people linked to inherited cancer risk, including Lynch syndrome and familial colorectal or prostate cancer, and he also works with certain rare genetic conditions such as Turner syndrome and Fanconi anaemia. At times, this work can involve looking at how risk is managed over time.
In many cases, a patient’s plan is built around both medical needs and personal goals. Dr Milne looks after people with new diagnoses as well as those who need ongoing reviews after treatment.
