About

Michael Ng is a leading figure in radiation oncology, with a focused expertise in the application of brachytherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. His most-cited work, "Brachytherapy: state‐of‐the‐art radiotherapy in prostate cancer" (2015), has garnered 28 citations and serves as a pivotal review that reframes the conversation around prostate cancer treatment. In this paper, Ng argues that as various contemporary treatments offer similar efficacy, the critical differentiators become treatment-related toxicities, quality of life, convenience, and cost. This contribution has helped shift clinical focus toward patient-centered outcomes, influencing how oncologists weigh therapeutic options. Beyond this landmark review, Ng’s research consistently explores the optimization of radiotherapy techniques to minimize side effects while maximizing tumor control. His work has been instrumental in establishing brachytherapy as a standard-of-care option, demonstrating that shorter, more targeted radiation courses can be both effective and less burdensome for patients. Through his scholarship, Ng has provided a crucial framework for evidence-based decision-making in prostate cancer management, making him a respected voice in the field of radiation oncology.
