The Aggressive Lymphoma Service is part of Clinical Haematology formed by Peter Mac and the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
The service includes specialist haematologists, radiation oncologists haematology nurse coordinators, and nurse practitioners. We look after patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma. In addition, we have a highly specialised skin lymphoma clinic, unique in Australia. Members of our consultant team are involved in international reference groups that drive treatment trends for aggressive lymphoma, and have been leaders in clinical and bench-top research that has brought highly active new anti-lymphoma drugs to the clinic and refined our understanding of how best to apply radiotherapy.
Together with the molecular haematology department we are developing new diagnostic platforms to improve the way we diagnose and monitor lymphoid malignancy. The service provides a comprehensive clinical trials program covering the spectrum of the diseases we treat and has been successful in translating discoveries at the research bench to the clinic. Above all, our mission is to support our patients through this difficult time in their lives, and to provide the highest quality of care and the best outcomes for their lymphoma.
