Biography
Clinical interests in breast, urological, and gastrointestinal cancers plus lymphoma and complex skin.
Following completion of a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Western Australia, Rohen initially embarked on a surgical career before changing paths and pursuing specialist training in radiation oncology at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne.
Post specialist training, Rohen was awarded the Windeyer Fellowship by the national college to further his education with international leaders at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in London.
He maintains an active interest in research projects across a broad range of tumour sites and has numerous peer-reviewed publications. He is passionate about helping to provide high-quality medical education, including supervising and delivering oncology training to junior doctors, medical students, and radiation oncology trainees.
