Dr Maryke Etsebeth is a Radiation Oncologist who qualified from the University of Pretoria in 2014. After three years as a consultant in Radiation Oncology at Steve Biko Academic Hospital, she decided to move to the private sector and joined the De Muelenaere Oncology group in September 2017.

She has developed a special focus on prostate cancer and completed the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Prostate Cancer from the European School of Oncology in November 2023. In addition to this, she has a special interest in gynaecological cancers, central nervous system (brain and spinal) tumours, gastrointestinal cancers, and rare cancer types.

For Dr Etsebeth, cancer care is about far more than treating a disease. She focuses on the person behind the diagnosis, offering support not only to her patients, but also to their families. While every effort is made toward cure, she places equal importance on relieving symptoms, preserving dignity, and maintaining quality of life throughout treatment.

Patients value her calm presence, thorough approach, and her ability to explain complex treatment plans in a way that is understandable and reassuring. Dr Etsebeth believes that even in the most difficult circumstances, patients deserve thoughtful care, honest guidance, and a doctor who is willing to walk the journey with them.
