Expertise and Research Interests

Prostate cancer is now the most common malignancy diagnosed in American males and the second leading cause of cancer deaths.

The clinical research programs at the Hunter Radiation Therapy Center include programs to scientifically evaluate the efficacy of surgery versus various forms of radiation therapy including implant therapy, three-dimensional conformal external beam radiation therapy, and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for treatment of early prostate cancer. IMRT represents the newest form of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. We are using IMRT with dose escalation for all of our prostate cancer patients. We have recently received a grant from the Anna Fuller Foundation to evaluate the clinical outcomes using IMRT and a new technology called image-guided IMRT.

Other Expertise

I wish to be contacted by interested students (medical, graduate or undergraduates) as a potential research mentor/thesis advisor.
