Anahid Ehteda is an oncologist based on High Street in Randwick, NSW. She looks after people who are facing cancer that starts in the brain, and in some cases, cancers that affect the eye.
In many cases, her patients are dealing with brain tumours and related conditions. That can include gliomas and tumours like diffuse midline glioma (H3 K27M-mutant), brain stem cancers, and tumours in the posterior fossa area. At times, care may also involve more complex brain tumour situations, including gliomatosis cerebri.
She also treats retinoblastoma, which is a cancer of the eye. Because this kind of care can be very different from adult oncology, it often means working closely with families and other health professionals, and keeping things clear and manageable.
On the day-to-day side, Anahid’s role is about cancer treatment planning and follow-up. That means helping people understand what treatment may involve, what to watch for, and how to manage side effects as things go along. Brain cancer care can be tough, and people often need support more than they expect. Over time, small check-ins and honest answers can make a big difference.
She works with a team approach, because brain and eye cancers usually need more than one kind of care. This can include coordinating with neurology, neurosurgery, radiology, radiation oncology, and other services. Treatment decisions are often made step by step, based on scans and results, and then adjusted if the situation changes.
Education-wise, the key point here is that she is trained as an oncologist. If you’d like details on her specific degree or training history, they can be shared directly through the practice.
When it comes to research and clinical trials, not every patient is eligible and not every treatment plan needs one. Where trials are relevant, the focus is usually on whether a study is a good fit for someone’s exact type of tumour and overall health, and whether it makes sense alongside standard care.
If you’re in Randwick or nearby and you want an oncologist who can explain things in plain language and guide you through the next steps, Anahid Ehteda at High Street is a local option.
