Claire M. Vajdic is an oncologist based in Kensington, NSW, Australia.
In day to day care, she looks after adults who are dealing with cancer, and also people with blood-related conditions and other complex illnesses that can go alongside cancer treatment. Her patients may come in with lymphoma, leukaemia or myeloma, or with solid cancers such as lung, bowel, pancreas, kidney, and skin cancers.
Many people need help when a diagnosis is new. Others are in the middle of treatment, or coming back for follow ups after therapy has finished. Claire’s approach is about making the next step feel clear and manageable, not rushed. That can mean talking through options, explaining what to expect, and supporting patients as plans change over time.
Some conditions she may care for include follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and other B-cell and lymphocyte related cancers. She also works with patients who have cancers of the head and neck, including squamous cell types, as well as gynaecological cancers like cervical cancer and anal cancer.
Because cancer care can be different for each person, treatment can involve different medicines and plans, and sometimes specialist options. At times, patients may be able to discuss clinical trials as part of their care, depending on what is available and what fits best for their situation.
Claire is also part of the wider medical team that helps manage complications that can come with serious illness. This can include issues like bone and soft tissue tumours, brain tumours, and kidney problems that affect how treatment is given. In some cases, people may have other long-term health conditions at the same time, and that affects decision making, so it’s important to consider the whole picture.
