Helen Rizos is an Oncologist based in Sydney, working at 2 Technology Place, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia.
Her work focuses on cancers that affect the skin and the eye, plus a range of brain tumour types. In many cases, this means helping patients and families understand what’s going on, what the next steps look like, and how treatment options may fit together.
Conditions she looks after include melanoma, uveal melanoma, and melanoma of the eye. She also supports patients with brain tumour diagnoses such as astrocytoma, brain tumour, glioblastoma, glioma, and gliomatosis cerebri. At times, she may also be involved in care where tissue changes like necrosis come into the picture, depending on the bigger picture of the case.
Cancer care can be full of waiting and confusing terms. Helen’s approach is to keep things grounded and clear, so people know what decisions are being made and why. That can be especially important when scans, symptoms, and test results don’t always tell the full story straight away.
Because every case is different, treatment planning often needs a careful, step-by-step view. Helen works through what is known now, what still needs checking, and what choices are available as things move forward. She also takes care to explain how risks and expected outcomes are usually weighed in real life, not just on paper.
For patients with rarer eye-related and skin-related conditions, Helen may also be part of the process around things like Tieche-Jadassohn nevus. The details can vary, so care is usually tailored to the person and their situation.
Information about publications, clinical trials, and education details isn’t listed here, but the focus remains on practical oncology care for people dealing with melanoma and brain tumour diagnoses.
