There are approximately 2,000 newly diagnosed cases of brain cancer in Australia annually. Treatment for brain cancer varies depending on the type and stage of the tumour but commonly includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. 

​

Dr Sarah Cain is pleased to join the Gamma Knife Radiation Oncology Team at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. In May 2025, the team celebrated a significant milestone—they treated their 1,000th patient using Victoria’s first Gamma Knife machine, which launched in 2021. 

 

Dr Cain will collaborate closely with this specialist radiation oncology team, consulting with patients in outpatient clinics and being present on the day of treatment to apply the stereotactic frame.
