His clinical practice predominantly involves managing patients with mucosal and cutaneous malignancies of the head and neck. He has had a longstanding clinical research focus on the important and beneficial role of radiotherapy in treating patients with non-melanomaskin cancer and specifically in patients diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma (primary cutaneous neuroendocrine malignancy) and high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (especially those with metastatic nodes). In addition to a Masters degree in Clinical Epidemiology he has been awarded MDs by published work (both detailing the role of radiotherapy in Merkel cell carcinoma and metastatic nodal SCC, respectively) from both the University of NSW and University of Sydney and has published widely, both locally and internationally, over 160 peer reviewed publications and book chapters on various skin cancer related topics and is a clinical professor with the Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney. He is considered an international expert in this area and believes strongly in educating and informing clinicians managing patients with skin cancer of the often-underappreciated benefits, which in some cases can be lifesaving, to utilising radiotherapy, be that, definitive (i.e. radical), adjuvant (i.e. post op) or palliative radiotherapy.
