This week we discuss Radiotherapy with Dr. Michael Maher, Dr. Maher qualified from the Royal College of Surgeons and completed his radiation oncology training in St Lukes Hospital Dublin, the Institut de Cancérologie Gustave-Roussy, and Institut Curie. He established the first private radiotherapy centre in Ireland in 1995 when he joined the Mater Private Hospital. Dr Maher is a leader in the field of prostate seed implantation and established the first programme of its kind in Ireland. In 2010 Dr Maher was appointed as the Chairman of the Cancer Centre at the Mater Private and has oversight for the provision of cancer care throughout the hospital. Dr Maher’s vision for the cancer centre is to provide personalised care to patients living with a cancer diagnosis whilst offering the most recent treatments and technology to ensure the best possible outcome.
