In memory of Associate Professor Dr Malcolm Legget
Neuroendocrine Cancer New Zealand mourns the passing of Associate Professor Dr Malcolm Legget, a tireless advocate for NET patients.
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Associate Professor Dr Malcolm Legget, a tireless advocate, clinician and friend to the New Zealand neuroendocrine cancer community.
From 2015, Malcolm and Siobhan Conroy spearheaded efforts to raise funds for a Gallium-68 generator. Alongside fellow clinicians, Malcolm pushed for PRRT access in New Zealand and championed better diagnosis and treatment pathways for NET patients.
From 2016, Siobhan, Malcolm and NECNZ turned to the problem of getting PRRT funded and delivered in New Zealand. COVID border closures were the catalyst for Auckland City Hospital and a New Zealand-based PRRT service finally being established.
