Mark J. Smyth is an oncologist based at 300 Herston Road, Herston, QLD 4006. He works with people who are dealing with cancer and other serious illnesses, often when treatment needs to be planned carefully over time.
In clinic and hospital settings, Mark may help look after people with lung cancer, bowel cancer, breast cancer (including triple-negative breast cancer), and kidney cancer. He also sees patients with cancers that involve the blood and bone marrow, such as multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), B-cell lymphoma, and hairy cell leukaemia. Over time, his work can also include caring for people with melanoma and neuroendocrine tumours.
Some cases are about tumours in the bones or soft tissues. This can include adult soft tissue sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and other bone tumours. At times, patients need support for complications linked to these conditions, including areas of necrosis.
Mark’s practice also includes treatment support that goes beyond standard chemotherapy plans. This can include bone marrow transplant care, and follow-up for graft versus host disease (GvHD). He may also be involved in managing tricky ongoing issues like cerebral hypoxia and scleroderma, depending on what’s happening for the person and the stage of their illness.
The profile lists experience across a wide range of conditions, including infections and other complex health issues that can come up during cancer treatment, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, cytomegalic inclusion disease, malaria, meningitis, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). It also references lung metastases, which is when cancer spreads to the lungs.
Education details aren’t included on this profile. Research and clinical trials are also not listed here, so any trial involvement would need to be checked directly through the treating team at the hospital or clinic.
