Biography

Clinical interests in breast cancer, urological including prostate cancer, lung malignancies, and palliative radiation therapy.

Dr Tran graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1998. She undertook her postgraduate training at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and at Adelaide Radiotherapy Centre/Flinders Medical Centre, gaining her specialist qualifications in Radiation Oncology in 2006.

Dr Tran works across all areas but with subspecialty interests in urological malignancies (in particular prostate cancer), breast and lung malignancies. She established the Prostate Low-Dose Rate Brachytherapy Program at Tennyson Centre.

Oncology SA's Research Committee was formed under Dr Tran's leadership, encouraging participation of all craft groups and helping to enable a broad range of both investigator-initiated and external trials.

One of the key learnings for me from my time with Camp Quality and Adelaide Survivors Abreast is that ongoing support and care for those affected by cancer is very important.
