Nehmat Houssami is an oncologist based on Fisher Road in Sydney, NSW. She looks after people across the cancer journey, from early diagnosis through to treatment and follow-up care.
In many cases, her work involves breast cancer care, including mastectomy planning and support around surgery and recovery. She also treats people with other cancers such as anal cancer and lung cancer. At times, patients come in with related breast concerns too, like breast infections and calcinosis, where the goal is to sort out what’s going on and help guide the next step.
Cancer care can feel overwhelming. Nehmat’s approach is steady and practical. Appointments are about understanding what’s happening, talking through options in plain language, and making sure patients know what to expect. There’s a lot of waiting and worry in this space, so clear explanations matter, even for the small things like timing, test results, and treatment side effects.
Because every person’s situation is different, care can look different from one patient to the next. For example, some people need help coordinating ongoing treatment, while others need careful follow-up and symptom checks as things settle down. When infections or other breast issues show up alongside cancer concerns, the focus stays on getting things under control and supporting recovery as safely as possible.
Education and experience are centred on oncology and the day-to-day reality of looking after patients with cancer and related conditions. The work involves staying across current treatment pathways and using that knowledge to support decision-making. If new or additional treatment options are being considered for a particular situation, her role is to help patients understand what they involve and how they fit with their plan.
Clinical trials are not listed here, but the clinic may still discuss all relevant options as care plans are reviewed. Overall, Nehmat Houssami aims to provide calm, grounded oncology care for people in Sydney who need support, clear answers, and consistent follow-up.
