The Low-Grade Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Related Diseases Stream comprises specialist haematologists, nurses and research staff led by A/Prof. Constantine (Con) Tam. Our expertise in this area is recognised globally, and we hold leadership positions in international bodies that set treatment directions for CLL, extranodal lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and hairy cell leukemia. Members from our team are pivotal in bringing highly active groups of drugs such as next-generation monoclonal antibodies (obinutuzumab), BTK inhibitors (ibrutinib) and BCL2 antagonists (venetoclax) to the clinic, and continue to lead cutting-edge research into new treatments for blood cancers.

Clinics are held in the Peter Mac building on Grattan St in Parkville.
Clinical Trials
Achieving the best outcome for every cancer sufferer is at the heart of what we do. In addition to delivering the best care available currently, we offer our patients the opportunity to access new treatments and pursue state-of-the-art research through participation in clinical trials.
If you would like to participate or have questions about clinical trials, speak to your specialist.
