Dr Prantik Das

Dr Prantik Das is a Consultant Clinical Oncologist with a specialist interest in urological and gastrointestinal cancers. His clinical practice focuses on advanced radiotherapy techniques aimed at improving cancer outcomes while minimising treatment-related side effects. He has particular expertise in hypofractionated radiotherapy, an approach that delivers higher doses of radiation over fewer treatment sessions to more effectively target tumours.

Dr Das is especially recognised for his work in Image-Guided Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), including MR-guided radiotherapy, and is considered one of the national experts in MR-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). These highly precise treatment techniques allow radiation to be delivered accurately to tumours while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. He also has significant interest in the use of High Dose Rate brachytherapy and SABR for the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer.

He completed his basic medical training in the United Kingdom and was awarded Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) in 2009. He then undertook specialist Clinical Oncology training in the Northern Ireland Deanery and obtained a postgraduate diploma in Oncology from the University of London. After completing his Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) in 2013, he undertook a Proton Therapy Fellowship at the University of Florida in the United States, further developing his expertise in advanced radiotherapy techniques.

Dr Das has been actively involved in numerous national and international clinical trials, frequently serving as a Principal Investigator. He has authored more than 60 publications in peer-reviewed medical journals and has contributed as a reviewer and editor for international journals. He is also a contributing author of the Pocket Guide to Human Tumors and Cancer published by CRC Press in the United States.
