- Dr Quan Tran is a medical oncologist who treats all areas of general oncology but has a special interest in genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and breast malignancies and palliative care.
Quan obtained his medical degree from the University of Queensland and completed his medical oncology training in Queensland. Following admission to the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) as a medical oncologist, Quan completed a clinical research fellowship at the prestigious Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne Australia. The fellowship was focused within the genitourinary, gynaecological, and head and neck tumour streams and provided experience with early drug development (phase 1) and phase 3 clinical trials.

Quan also has a particular interest in exercise oncology. He has completed a Bachelor's degree in human movements with distinctions and a Master's of Science degree in exercise physiology. Quan wishes to combine his areas of expertise and his research goals are to indentify barriers to exercise in cancer survivors and to facilitate the integration of exercise as a standard component of cancer treatment.
