Biography
A/Prof Michael Jones is a dedicated radiation oncologist who is committed to achieving the best outcomes for his patients.
Clinical Associate Professor Michael Jones is a radiation oncologist at Icon Cancer Centre Hobart and Director of Radiation Oncology at the WP Holman Clinic, Royal Hobart Hospital.
Michael studied medicine at the Australian National University and completed specialist training in radiation oncology at Calvary Mater Newcastle and Chris O'Brien Lifehouse in Sydney, achieving fellowship of the RANZCR in 2016. He subsequently undertook a clinical research fellowship at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, in prostate cancer, gastrointestinal cancers and lymphoma. He holds a PhD in Medicine and a Master of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Tasmanian School of Medicine at the University of Tasmania.
Michael treats most cancer types, including prostate, breast, lung and brain cancers, lymphoma and cancers of the digestive system (oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, colon, rectum and anal canal). He is credentialed in CyberKnife, a very precise form of radiotherapy that can treat some cancers in fewer sessions. The CyberKnife itself is in Melbourne, but consultations, planning and follow-ups are all held in Hobart — patients only need to travel for treatment.
Michael is on the executive committee of FROGG, Australasia's peak radiation oncology prostate cancer advisory group. His research has attracted several competitive grants and has been published in leading international radiation oncology journals. He is principal investigator on a number of clinical trials currently running in Hobart.
Michael sees patients from all over Tasmania and telehealth appointments can be arranged when travel is difficult. He lives in Hobart with his family.
