Dr. Morgan has a research interest in therapies for prostate cancer across its spectrum from localized to advanced disease. He has specific interests in evidence synthesis and evidence-based practice, large observational studies, and multicentre clinical trials.
Dr. Morgan is a radiation oncologist at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre and an Associate Professor in the Division of Radiation Oncology at the University of Ottawa. He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Physics from the University of British Columbia, a Doctor of Medicine from Queen’s University, and a Master of Science in Clinical Trials from the University of London. Prior to starting his practice in Ottawa in 2010, he completed a fellowship in genitourinary clinical oncology at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London. His practice is focused on genitourinary and breast malignancy. He is a longstanding member of the Genitourinary Disease Site Group of the Cancer Care Ontario Programme in Evidence-Based Care. Between 2016 and 2020, he served as Co-Chair of the Genitourinary Guideline Advisory Group of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. In 2020, he was appointed to the Guidelines Subcommittee of the American Society for Radiation Oncology. He is a member of the steering committees of three large-scale multicentre phase III trials in localized and advanced prostate cancer.
