Biography
Clinical interests in prostate, breast, lung, and gastrointestinal cancers, lymphoma and stereotactic radiation therapy.
Michael is an honours graduate of Monash University Medical School. He trained as a radiation oncology registrar at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and spent his fellowship year overseas at the Royal Marsden Hospital, United Kingdom. He returned to Australia and worked as a staff specialist at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in head and neck and gastrointestinal cancers.
He has been working with GenesisCare since 2009 as a general oncologist, with clinical interests in breast, prostate, gastrointestinal and lung cancer.
Michael is the head of the stereotactic radiation therapy service at GenesisCare in Victoria. He has previously been radiotherapy chair of EviQ cancer guidelines (Cancer Institute NSW), and since 2017 is an advisor to the federal government Department of Health on the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) which appraises new medical services proposed for public funding.
