Stephen B. Fox is an oncologist based in Melbourne, working out of 305 Grattan St, Melbourne VIC 3000. He looks after people who are dealing with cancer, from the first big diagnosis through to treatment planning and ongoing care.
In everyday practice, this kind of work can look different for each person. Some people are coming in with early-stage cancer and want clear next steps. Others are dealing with cancers that have spread, and the focus is on control, comfort, and quality of life. Stephen works with patients and families to help them understand options and make decisions that fit their situation.
His clinical focus covers a broad mix of cancers and related conditions. This includes breast cancer (including breast cancer in men) and triple-negative breast cancer. He also sees people with prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR positive lung cancer, and cancers that can show up in the head and neck area. Other conditions he manages include endometrial cancer, melanoma, anal cancer, cervical cancer, oesophageal cancer, gastric and gastro-oesophageal junction cancers, and tongue cancer.
Alongside cancer care, he also looks at some other conditions that can affect health and treatment choices. Examples include fibroadenoma, adult soft tissue sarcoma, and lung adenocarcinoma. At times, care can also involve specific genetic or family-related risk issues, such as familial prostate cancer, where long-term planning matters.
People often ask about what treatment might involve. Stephen’s role is to help guide care in a way that feels practical and understandable, and to support patients through the changes that can come with cancer. That might include discussions around surgery follow-ups (such as mastectomy care), tests needed for treatment decisions, and what follow-up can look like after treatment.
