Prue Cormie is an oncologist based in Melbourne, working out of Level 5, 215 Spring Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia.
Oncology care can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with a new diagnosis or changes in scans and symptoms. Prue looks after people across a range of cancer and related conditions, and also pays attention to the day to day impacts of treatment. It’s not just about the medicine. It’s about making a clear plan, answering questions, and supporting wellbeing along the way.
Prue’s clinical work includes looking after people with prostate cancer and breast cancer. She also treats people with bone tumours, which can bring their own set of challenges like pain, mobility issues, and needing careful monitoring. At times, treatment plans may include more than one step, and decisions are usually made with what fits your situation best.
There’s also a strong focus on lymphatic conditions. Prue helps manage lymphedema, including long-term swelling that can affect the arms, legs, or other areas. She also supports people with Milroy disease, which is a lymphatic condition that can start earlier in life and may need ongoing care. For many people, getting the right support early can make a big difference to comfort and daily routines.
As an oncologist, Prue works with patients as they move through different stages of care, from first discussions and staging to ongoing treatment and follow-up. That might include reviewing symptoms, checking response to therapy, and keeping an eye on side effects. In many cases, care involves coordinating with other health professionals so everything fits together smoothly.
If you’re referred for an oncology review, you’ll typically talk through what’s been happening, what your scans and test results show, and what the next steps could look like. Prue keeps conversations clear and practical, and she knows that people often want simple answers rather than big, complicated explanations.
Prue Cormie is available for patients in Melbourne who need oncology care for conditions such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, bone tumours, lymphedema, and Milroy disease, with appointments held at 215 Spring Street.
