Dr Matthew Loft

I am a Medical Oncologist dedicated to advancing personalised cancer care in both public and private health care. With an additional degree in Pharmacy, I have a unique perspective to clinical practice, anti-cancer therapeutics and research.

I pride myself on the delivery of healthcare in a compassionate and empathic way to each individual and am committed to improving treatment outcomes by developing new technologies designed to craft tailored dosing strategies for all patients. I treat all tumour streams, however have a particular interest in treating lung, gastrointestinal cancers and melanoma.

Alongside my clinical practice, I also work at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and University of Melbourne, combining extensive teaching and numerous publications. My passion is shifting cancer care from generic approaches, to treatments that meet the individual needs of each patient.
