Laura Baglietto is an oncologist based in Melbourne, working out of 615 St Kilda Road, Melbourne VIC 3004. She helps people who are dealing with serious health issues, especially cancers and long-term gut conditions.
In her day-to-day work, Laura looks after patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and colorectal cancer. She also cares for people with endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. At times, her patients may also have B-Cell lymphoma. Cancer care can feel overwhelming, so the focus is usually on clear next steps, steady support, and making sure treatment options are explained in plain language.
Laura’s care isn’t only about cancer. She also works with people around menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including times when symptoms like hot flushes or sleep changes can make everyday life harder. She can also be involved when people need help managing issues linked to obesity and long-term skin problems such as psoriasis.
Another big part of her practice is gut health. Many patients she supports have conditions like colitis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. Some people have hemorrhoid-related or bleeding issues that need careful review too. In some cases, she may be involved with colonoscopy and related care, and she helps guide treatment when symptoms flare up.
Laura also works with people who have had infections and respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 and SARS. She may also help manage viral gastroenteritis. While appendectomy and similar surgical situations aren’t always the main focus for an oncologist, people can still need ongoing medical follow-up after procedures, and that’s where good coordination matters.
