Marija Dinevska is an oncologist based in Parkville, VIC 3052. She works with people who are dealing with cancer, including cancers that start in the testicles and cancers that affect the brain.
Brain tumours can be tough to live with, and they can show up in different ways depending on where they are and how they behave over time. Marija looks after patients with conditions such as astrocytoma, glioma, and glioblastoma. At times, people are also dealing with more spread-out brain tumour types like gliomatosis cerebri. Her role is to help patients understand what is going on and what treatment options might fit best for their situation.
Cancer of the testicles is another area she supports. This can include testicular cancer, and in some cases rarer types like Leydig cell testicular tumour. Even when the diagnosis is unexpected, it helps when you have someone who can guide the next steps clearly, without making things feel too complicated.
In many cases, treatment plans depend on more than just one result. Imaging, scans, pathology, and a person’s overall health all matter. Marija focuses on making sure patients have a good sense of the plan, including what the treatment is meant to achieve and what side effects to watch for. She also talks through timing and follow-up, because cancer care doesn’t stop after one appointment.
Because every patient’s case is a bit different, she aims to take a practical approach. That means listening closely, explaining things in everyday language, and being upfront about what is known and what still needs to be worked out. If clinical trials could be relevant, she can usually discuss whether that’s an option and what it would involve, so patients can make informed choices.
Marija’s work brings together care for both brain tumours and testicular cancers. The goal is steady, focused oncology support—helping patients and families move through the process step by step, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond.
