Dr George Murray – Radiation Oncologist – Stellenbosch

Dr George Murray is a highly respected radiation oncologist practising in Stellenbosch, with over 20 years of specialised experience. After earning his MBChB from the University of KwaZulu‑Natal in 2009, he completed both his MMed (Radiation Oncology) at the University of the Orange Free State and his FC Rad Onc (SA) through the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa in 2001.

Early in his career, he developed a keen interest in combining precision radiotherapy with emerging systemic treatments. Consequently, he now integrates immune therapies, targeted therapies, hormonal treatments, and advanced radiation techniques into personalised care plans LinkedIn. He practices at Mediclinic Stellenbosch and its Day Clinic, both of which feature state‑of‑the‑art linear accelerators, CT‑simulation suites, and a dedicated brachytherapy theatre.

Importantly, Dr Murray emphasises clear communication and shared decision‑making. Therefore, he guides each patient through every step—from initial consultation and treatment planning to follow‑up and long‑term surveillance. Moreover, his approach blends scientific rigor with compassionate support, ensuring that individuals feel informed and comforted throughout their cancer journey.

Services

Dr Murray offers a full spectrum of radiation oncology services, each tailored to specific tumour types and patient needs:

• External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
  Employing advanced linear accelerators to deliver high‑energy X‑rays that target tumours precisely while sparing healthy tissue.

• Intensity‑Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT)
  Using computer‑controlled beams to conform radiation dose tightly around complex tumour shapes, thereby reducing side effects.

• Image‑Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)
  Integrating daily imaging to verify tumour position before each treatment session, which improves accuracy and outcomes.

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) & Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
  Delivering very high radiation doses in one or few fractions for small intracranial lesions or body tumours, respectively.

• Brachytherapy
  Placing radioactive sources directly within or next to tumours—commonly for prostate, cervical, and breast cancers—to achieve high local dose with minimal exposure elsewhere.

• Combined Modality Treatments
  Coordinating with medical and surgical oncology teams to integrate chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy around radiotherapy schedules.

• Palliative Radiotherapy
  Providing symptom relief for advanced cancers—such as pain control or bleeding management—to improve quality of life.

Each service utilises cutting‑edge treatment planning software, multi‑leaf collimators, and multidisciplinary tumour boards to design optimal, evidence‑based regimens.
