Margaret M. Lee is an Oncologist based at Eastern Health in Box Hill, VIC, Australia.
In many cases, her patients are dealing with cancer that has started in one area and then spread, or cancer that is hard to treat because it affects more than one part of the body. She looks after people and families through the ups and downs that come with a serious diagnosis. Cancer care can be confusing, so she keeps things clear and practical, focusing on what matters most for day-to-day life.
Margaret’s clinical work includes treatment and ongoing care for colorectal cancer and familial colorectal cancer. She also supports people with cancers that involve the gastroesophageal junction, where the stomach meets the oesophagus. For some patients, the cancer is more advanced, including lung metastases, and in other cases the spread can involve the brain, such as metastatic brain tumours.
She also cares for people with pancreatic cancer. This is a cancer that often needs careful planning, and it can change over time. At times, patients may have other related health issues too, and Margaret works with the wider team to support the whole picture, not just the scan results.
When someone is living with cancer, muscle problems can also show up, including muscle atrophy. Margaret understands that these changes can affect strength, movement, and independence. She helps patients connect the dots between symptoms and treatment goals, so they know what to expect and when to raise concerns.
Margaret works within the Eastern Health service, which means care is usually part of a larger team approach. Oncology treatment can involve different specialists and different steps, like planning treatment, managing side effects, and reviewing how things are going. Over time, she helps patients keep track of their next steps in a way that feels manageable.
