Clinical interests
Treatment techniques
Clinical interests in breast, skin, gynaecological, haematological and central nervous system (CNS) cancers, plus palliative radiation therapy.
Dr Andrew Potter studied at the University of Adelaide, graduating with a Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) in 1998 and a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery in 2000. He undertook his specialist training in Radiation Oncology in Adelaide, before working as a Clinical Research Fellow at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, Canada, from 2008–2009, where he was awarded the RS Bush Award for Academic Excellence.
Dr Potter returned to Adelaide as a Consultant Radiation Oncologist in 2009. He has worked in both the public and private sectors, developing sub-specialty expertise in stereotactic radiation therapy.
He maintains a clinical interest in all diseases where radiation therapy can be applied, including breast, skin, gynaecological, central nervous system, and haematological cancers.
Dr Potter is closely involved in the education and training of radiation therapy students, medical students, and radiation oncology registrars. He lectures at the University of South Australia and is an examiner for the RANZCR Faculty of Radiation Oncology.
Dr Potter supports a variety of research activities, including the supervision of Honours and PhD students, participation in clinical trials, and contributions to numerous peer-reviewed research papers.
