Anthony M. Joshua is an oncologist based at St Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst, NSW, Australia.
In everyday terms, he looks after people facing cancer, including cancers that can spread, plus other complex conditions that sometimes come up alongside cancer care. His work includes caring for patients with melanoma, uveal melanoma, prostate cancer, and a range of other tumour types. He also helps coordinate treatment when cancers involve places like the lungs, bladder, bone, kidneys, or adrenal glands.
Some cases are straightforward and respond well to first-line treatment. Other times, things can be harder. At times, patients need a careful plan that considers how the disease is behaving, how the body is coping, and what options are realistically available. That might involve reviewing scan results, discussing treatment goals, and lining up follow-up so people know what to expect next.
Anthony also has experience in eye-related oncology matters, including melanoma of the eye and uveal melanoma, where timing and detail really matter. He is part of a hospital team, so care often includes working alongside other specialists and allied health staff. There are also non-cancer problems he may see in the same setting, such as sarcoidosis and retinal artery occlusion, and even situations like dry mouth that can affect day-to-day comfort during treatment.
Like many cancer services in Australia, clinical trials can be considered for some patients, depending on what’s going on in their situation. Research and trial options may be discussed as part of working out the best next step, where appropriate. The aim is to make sure care stays practical and grounded, not vague.
Overall, Anthony’s role is about steady, clear decision-making in an area where patients and families often feel overwhelmed. At St Vincent’s Hospital, he focuses on getting the basics right: good communication, careful planning, and follow-up that keeps people supported through the next phase of treatment.
