About us
The Department of Radiation Oncology at UC Davis is a comprehensive, academic program offering innovative, state-of-the-art radiotherapies in the UC Davis Cancer Center and at our affiliated institutions. Our new, expanded facility and our internationally recognized faculty contribute to the strength of the UC Davis Health System in general and to the excellent care we provide our patients.
Until 1997, the Department of Radiation Oncology was an extension of the University of California, San Francisco, Department of Radiation Oncology. However, since becoming an independent department, the UC Davis Department of Radiation Oncology has intensified its commitment to basic and clinical research, fostered the relationship betweeen research and clinical practice, and established an accredited residency and other clinical training programs.
Our mission statement
The mission of the Department of Radiation Oncology is to provide safe, highest-quality care to our patients, foster outstanding educational programs for our physicians, scientists, and health care professionals, and conduct innovative research. By encouraging a supportive, diverse, learning environment, we strive to increase understanding of cancer biology through research and development, and to improve the cancer patient’s survival and quality of life. We are committed to the improvement of radiation therapy treatment planning, delivery, and verification techniques through the collaborative process of translating our scientific discoveries into clinical applications.
