Biography

Clinical Director Mater Gynaecological Oncology Service

Prof Lewis Perrin is a gynaecological oncologist specialising in the surgical treatment of women with endometrial, ovarian, cervical, vulval or vaginal malignancies. He has a special interest in minimal access surgery for the treatment of cancerous and non-cancerous diseases of the female reproductive organs.

He aims, where possible, to treat patients with laparoscopic surgery, allowing swift recoveries. He works with a dedicated team of surgeons that enable radical procedures for optimal removal of gynaecological cancers and improvement of the overall survival of these patients.

He is involved with clinical research and is a major contributor to many trials that determine the best treatment for patients with gynaecological cancers. He is a lead investigator in several studies ranging from laparoscopic surgery to new techniques in the delivery of chemotherapy.

He joined the Queensland Centre for Gynaecological Cancer in 1993. He began his training here, but also included a year as a clinical fellow in colorectal surgery at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. He is a subspecialty examiner for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and currently serves on the executive committee of the Australian Society of Gynaecological Oncology.
