Dr Andrea Chan

Dr Andrea Chan is a highly accomplished Medical Oncologist and Nuclear Medicine Specialist based in Melbourne, Australia. With a dual-specialist background, she brings a unique and comprehensive perspective to cancer care, combining advanced oncological treatments with state-of-the-art nuclear medicine diagnostics. Dr Chan is dedicated to providing patient-centred, compassionate care, ensuring that each individual receives a tailored treatment plan designed to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes.

Her clinical practice spans a wide range of oncological conditions, with a particular focus on the integration of molecular imaging and targeted therapies. Dr Chan specialises in the management of solid tumours and haematological malignancies, including lymphoma. Her expertise in nuclear medicine allows her to utilise advanced diagnostic tools, such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans, to precisely locate, stage, and monitor cancer. This dual expertise is particularly valuable in the emerging field of theranostics, where diagnostic imaging is directly paired with targeted radionuclide therapies to treat complex cancers.

Dr Chan completed her medical training with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery with Honours (MBBS (Hons)). She has achieved dual specialist recognition, holding Fellowships with both the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) and the Australasian Association of Nuclear Medicine Specialists (FAANMS). Committed to advancing the field of oncology, she is also a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) Candidate, actively contributing to clinical research. Her research interests include cancer diagnostics, targeted therapies, and the management of treatment-related complications such as venous thromboembolism.
