Julie R. Howle is an Oncologist based in Westmead, NSW. You’ll find her clinic at the Corner of Darcy and Hawkesbury Rd, Westmead.
Julie looks after people who are dealing with cancer and other serious conditions. In many cases, that means helping patients through diagnosis and then planning the next steps for treatment. Cancer can be a lot to take in, so the focus stays on clear decisions and practical support as things change over time.
Her work includes care for melanoma and other skin cancers, plus cancers like Merkel cell carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumours. She also supports patients with sarcomas, including adult soft tissue sarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. There’s also endometrial cancer and medullary thyroid carcinoma in her care mix.
Alongside cancer treatment, Julie’s service list includes procedures such as lymphadenectomy. That’s often part of how doctors manage spread to lymph nodes and work out what comes next. At times, treatment plans can involve more than one step, and it helps to have one team that can keep the bigger picture in mind.
People sometimes come in with sleep and breathing issues as well. Julie also works with obstructive sleep apnoea, which can affect energy, day-to-day life, and overall health. Getting both the cancer side and the health basics under control can make a big difference for how someone feels during treatment.
In terms of experience, Julie has clinical experience caring for adult patients with complex conditions like these. Cancer care isn’t one-size-fits-all, so she works through individual circumstances and checks in on how people are coping as treatment goes along.
For education, Julie’s training supports her role as an oncologist, including working with hospital teams and using evidence-based treatment approaches. She also stays up to date with current treatment options, so care can be matched to the latest guidance where it matters.
Clinical trials can be an option for some patients, depending on the case. When trials are relevant, Julie helps explain what that could mean and whether it’s worth looking at.
