Join us for an engaging webinar tailored to medical, nursing, and allied health trainees, focusing on the latest evidence and clinical practice in prostate cancer care. Delivered by leading experts, this interactive session will boost your foundational knowledge and give you confidence in contributing to prostate cancer care across settings.
This comprehensive session will explore:
Prof Corcoran is a surgeon and research scientist with an interest in the molecular drivers of lethal prostate cancer and novel treatments. He completed his studies at the University College of Dublin in 1998 and was awarded a PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2006. Since 2018, he has been the VCCC Alliance Research & Education Lead for Genito-urinary cancer. In this role, he works to map opportunities across the alliance to develop expert networks, deliver strategic educational programming, improve sharing of data for research, and implement multi-partner clinical trials to speed up the translation of new research into routine clinical practice.
Dr Reeves is a urological surgeon with experience in minimally invasive surgery. She is a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and has completed a subspecialty fellowship in Uro-Oncology and Robotic surgery. She also provides general urology care for adults, including treatment of kidney stones and management of lower urinary tract symptoms. She offers a range of operations for benign prostate enlargement. She has a PhD in prostate cancer from The University of Melbourne, and has published widely in the field of urology.
A/Prof Ryan has interest and expertise in urological, gastrointestinal, ENT and skin pathology, and is involved in prostate, kidney, gastro, and melanoma research. He is involved in numerous clinical multidisciplinary team meetings and is a member of the Pan Prostate Cancer Group of the International Cancer Genome Consortium, and the Melbourne Urological Research Alliance (MURAL). He holds an adjunct clinical Associate Professor position in the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Faculty of School of Medicine and Nursing at Monash University, and works closely with the Prostate Cancer Research Group. He is an associated member of the International Society of Urological Pathologists (ISUP) and Genitourinary Pathology Society (GUPS).
Dr Dundee undertook his surgical training in Melbourne, after which he travelled to the UK and spent a year training with one of the world’s most experienced laparoscopic surgeons. He was then appointed Consultant at the prestigious Guy’s and St Thomas’ in London, where he undertook training in robotic surgery. Since returning to Melbourne, he established himself as a high volume robotic and laparoscopic specialist and performs around 150 of these cases each year.
As well as his passion for surgery, Dr Dundee is committed to teaching the next generation of urologists and keeping up with advances in surgery and medicine. He is a faculty member and content creator at the International Medical Robotics Academy, an advanced new simulation centre developed to train the robotic surgeons of the future. He leads robotic training at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, an internationally recognised training program that attracts surgeons from around the world for fellowship training. He regularly supervises training workshops through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and has been an invited speaker on robotic surgical techniques at national and international conferences.
Dr Udovicich completed Radiation Oncology training at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, where he was the Chief Radiation Oncology Registrar. After training, he completed two years of specialised fellowships across multiple tumour streams, including stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT/SABR) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). He specialised in genitourinary (prostate, bladder) and central nervous system malignancies (brain, spine) and was the inaugural Neuro-Oncology and Gamma Knife Clinical Research Fellow at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. A recipient of multiple awards, including the University of Toronto Postgraduate Research Award, RANZCR Thomas Baker Fellowship, MIGA Grant, TOGA Travel Grant (Thoracic Oncology Group Australasia) and George Hodgson Memorial Lorne Cancer Conference Award, he has also authored over 40 peer-reviewed research manuscripts published in The Lancet, European Urology and The Breast Journal and others, and presented at international and national conferences
Dr Levy is a duall-trained radiologist and nuclear medicine specialist with local and international postgraduate fellowship training and extensive work experience in nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography, neuroradiology, uroradiology, head and neck and musculoskeletal radiology. He completed his PhD on the biology of lymphoedema through the Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research, Peter Mac and the University of Melbourne. At Peter Mac, he maintains active clinical and research interests with the Genitourinary and Head and Neck tumour streams, and regularly contributes to their multidisciplinary tumour boards.
Dr Hitchen is a medical oncologist and early-career specialist in genitourinary (GU) oncology. Through her work, she is dedicated to advancing patient care through both clinical excellence and translational research.
