Meet our oncologists

Meet our oncologists

Dr Yvonne Rimmer and Dr Saif Ahmad talk to us about their roles as clinical oncologists in radiotherapy and what their roles mean to patients coming in for cancer treatment. Clinical oncologists undergo years of continued training and learning to become specialists in the field of radiotherapy and for a specific part of the body. They work closely with our radiographers, physicists and planning team, and with many other members of the wider multi-disciplinary teams such as surgeons, nurses and dieticians (to name a few) so that each patient has an individualised treatment plan tailored specifically for their needs. Yvonne is a Clinical Oncology Consultant for urological cancer, which includes prostate and bladder cancer. She is also a Specialist Research Lead for radiotherapy clinical trials for Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the wider region of the NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) for East of England, UK. Saif is a Clinical Oncology Consultant, primarily treating people with breast cancer, and also works with CRUK RadNet Cambridge investigating why certain tumours respond to radiotherapy whilst others do not.
