Before joining Icon Cancer Centre, Dr Gzell worked as a neuro-oncology radiation oncologist primarily at St Vincent's and Macquarie University Hospitals from 2014 to 2022. During this time, she gained specialist expertise in the use of stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic radiation therapy techniques. She has extensive clinical experience in managing a wide range of solid tumor malignancies but has a particular interest in brain cancer, both primary and secondary CNS neoplasms, as well as benign intracranial and base of skull lesions.
