Clinical/Research InterestsMy clinical interests pertain to cancers of the breast, CNS, GI and GU sites. In addition I am also interested in the use of IGRT and brachytherapy. With the development image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with our online cone beam CT, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), 4-dimensional scanning, and tomotherapy, we are able to more accurately administer high doses of radiation to tumors while sparing critical normal tissues than ever before. It is my hope that these advances will translate into improved cure rates. My research interests revolve around exploring ways to better localize breast tumors through imaging such as the cone beam CT and Align RT as well as evaluating the effect of different radiation technologies on clinical outcome through rigorous prospective and retrospective research. |
