Genitourinary team

Dr. Patrick Cheung is a radiation oncologist specializing in treating genitorurinary and lung cancers. He is the radiation oncology genitourinary care group leader at the Odette Cancer Centre and assistant professor in the department of radiation oncology at the University of Toronto.

Dr. Cheung's main research interest is improving the way radiotherapy is delivered with the use of high-precision techniques and to deliver radiation safely over a shorter period of time (hypofractionation). He is also experienced in using stereotactic body radiotherapy (a very focused radiotherapy technique) to treat lung tumours, which he hopes to start using for genitor-urinary tumours, like prostate and small kidney cancers in the future.
