Andrew Wirth is an oncologist in Melbourne, working from Grattan St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia.
Andrew looks after people who are dealing with cancer and blood-related conditions. This can include different types of lymphoma, like non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma, plus B-Cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma, and marginal zone lymphoma. At times, patients may also be looking at newer or complex ways to manage their illness, and Andrew works through options with care.
He also supports people with lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung cancer can be tough to face, and the pathway can feel overwhelming. In many cases, Andrew focuses on making the plan feel clear, step by step, while also thinking about quality of life.
Depending on the situation, Andrew may be involved in care that connects with bone health and deeper treatment pathways. This can include bone tumour care and bone marrow transplant. Some patients also come with rarer conditions such as histiocytosis, reticulohistiocytoma, or lacrimal gland tumour. Even when the condition is unusual, the approach is still about understanding what’s happening and what matters most to the person and their family.
Not all referrals are only about cancer treatments. Andrew’s work also includes conditions like cataract, and at times muscle atrophy and related problems. That mix can be confusing for patients, but it helps to have one clinician who can see the broader picture and coordinate care where needed.
Over time, Andrew has built experience working with people across a range of cancer types and treatment stages. He works with other medical teams and focuses on practical next steps. This includes keeping up with current evidence so the care stays up to date, not stuck in the past.
Clinical trials can come up for some patients, especially when standard options are limited. Where appropriate, Andrew may discuss whether clinical trials are a possibility as part of the overall treatment talk. The goal is always to make sure the decision fits the person’s needs, not just the treatment plan.
