Dr C P Mathew completed his MBBS degree and Post Graduate Diploma in Radiation from Madras Medical College. In 1954, he entered the government service and later took MS degree in surgery. While working as a doctor in Thiruvananthapuram Medical College, he became famous as an expert to treat cancer. He was the first to introduce Brochitherapy in India to treat cancer. Dr C P Mathew also played an instrumental role in setting up Regional Cancer Centre in Thiruvananthapuram.
