Dr M B Mukesh

I graduated from medical school in 2003 with distinction and undertook specialist training in Clinical Oncology at Cambridge. During my specialist oncology training, I also completed MSc in Oncology from the Institute of Cancer Research, London with distinction. I was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists in 2010. After my fellowship, I completed two years of clinical research at Cambridge Breast Unit from 2011-2013. My research work was based around the use of advance radiotherapy techniques including Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) in breast cancer treatment. During this period, I worked in close collaboration with the European Organisation of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and the Royal Marsden Hospital. My main clinical and research interest is in the field of breast cancer and skin cancer including malignant melanoma. I have presented and published numerous papers as first author at prestigious international scientific meetings and journals. I am actively involved with clinical research as principal investigator for clinical trials in breast and skin cancer. I also have an interest in medical education and I am part of the teaching faculty for educational meetings organised by the Royal College of Radiologist (RCR) and the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS). I am also an educational supervisor for GP trainees at Colchester.

I am a cancer specialist with expertise in breast cancer and skin cancer including metastatic melanoma. Treatments for cancer is rapidly evolving and as a cancer specialist, I design a personalised cancer treatment programme using drug treatments (chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, targeted antibodies) and radiation therapy.
