Dr Sylvia Rodrigues

Oncomax Cancer Centre provides comprehensive cancer care to the Johannesburg South community from its facility at Medimix. The centre brings diagnostics, treatment and supportive services together under one roof, aiming to make care more accessible and coordinated. Its oncology team is led by Dr Sylvia Rodrigues, who has practiced clinical oncology since 2006 and takes an individualized, compassionate approach to supporting patients and their families.

Services include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted and immunotherapies, and hormonal therapies. The centre also offers brachytherapy, including iodine seed implantation for localized prostate cancer, and radioactive iodine therapy for benign and malignant thyroid disease. Oncomax participates in multidisciplinary team meetings, bringing together specialists across fields such as radiology, pathology, surgery and oncology to inform treatment decisions. Experienced doctors provide after-hours and weekend cover, while cancer care nurses support chemotherapy in a safe, welcoming environment. Administrative staff help patients navigate the practical aspects of care. For first consultations, the centre advises patients to bring relevant medical records, imaging, medication lists and insurance details, and to consider bringing someone for support.
