Biography
Clinical interests in breast, urological, gastrointestinal (GI), and lung cancers.
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 (RANZCR) in 2005. After completing a clinical fellowship at Perth Radiation Oncology, Tee went on to complete a further clinical research fellowship in genitourinary oncology, and specific treatment techniques 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.

Tee is a keen sportsman. Whether it’s watching or playing sport, he’s usually involved. He loves to travel and explore culturally interesting destinations when on holiday with his wife and two children.
More information
Tee works primarily across breast, gastro-intestinal, genitourinary and thoracic cancers. He has an interest in radiation therapy treatments to support cardiac transplant and cardiology patients, including a collaboration with the cardiology team at Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth. Dr Ben King and Tee treated the first patient with refractory ventricular tachycardia with stereotactic cardiac ablative radiation therapy in Western Australia in July 2020.
