Dr. Lubna Mariam

Dr. Lubna Mariam has been working in radiation oncology for more than fifteen years. Her career has grown through hospital practice, teaching, and continued medical training. She completed her MBBS from Mymensingh Medical College under the University of Dhaka, followed by an FCPS in Radiotherapy and an M.Phil in Radiotherapy. Patients usually meet her after a confirmed cancer diagnosis or when another doctor recommends radiation treatment. Those visits are often filled with questions. How many sessions. What side effects to expect. Whether daily life can continue during treatment. She seems to spend time explaining those details in language that is easier to follow.

Over the years she has received professional training in Germany, Singapore, Australia, India, and Thailand, learning different approaches to radiation therapy, brachytherapy, pain management, and palliative care. That experience has become part of her everyday work with cancer patients. She also teaches young doctors, so discussing treatment plans in a clear way is probably second nature. The clinic can be busy. Family members usually come along carrying pathology reports, CT scans, and old prescriptions folded inside a file. Some patients need radiation alone. Others receive it alongside chemotherapy or surgery. It depends on the type of cancer and how far it has spread. She has worked with modern radiation techniques for many years, but the conversation with each patient still starts with the basics. What the reports show. What happens next. Then the next appointment is arranged, and the process moves forward one step at a time.
