Tee completed his undergraduate medical degree at Monash University in Melbourne. He moved to Western Australia to continue medical and then specialist training in radiation oncology, and became a fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists in 2005. After completing a clinical fellowship at Perth Radiation Oncology, Tee went on to complete a further clinical research fellowship in genitourinary oncology, incorporating low dose radiation (LDR) and high dose radiation prostate brachytherapy, and image-guided radiotherapy, at Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre (Toronto, Canada), the University of California San Francisco Medical Centre, and the Seattle Prostate Institute.

He has written or been an investigator in nine published papers and 13 abstracts, is actively involved in clinical trials, and regularly presents at scientific meetings.

Clinical interests

Tee works primarily across breast, gastro-intestinal, genitourinary and thoracic cancers. He has a keen interest in total lymphoid irradiation for cardiac transplant rejection and stereotactic cardiac ablative radiation therapy for refractory ventricular tachycardia, and works in close collaboration with the cardiac transplant and cardiology team at Fiona Stanley Hospital. Dr Ben King and him have successfully treated the first patient with a refractory ventricular tachycardia with stereotactic cardiac ablative radiation therapy in Western Australia in July 2020.
