I am a board-certified radiation oncologist who specializes in treating brain tumors and breast cancer. In particular I have an expertise in stereotactic radiosurgery and hypofractionated courses of image guided radiation therapy for both metastatic disease and primary brain tumors. Together with my colleagues in diagnostic radiology we are studying different types of MRI sequences for primary brain tumors and the effect they may have on the design and delivery of radiation therapy. I also have an expertise in the use of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image guidance for the delivery of radiation for brain tumors (IGRT).
In addition to my expertise in brain tumors I also am experienced in treating breast cancer with a particular interest in image guidance for both whole breast and partial breast techniques. I am also interested in intraoperative radiation therapy for breast cancer and external beam partial breast irradiation.
