Biography
Genito-urinary and Primary Central Nervous System malignancies.
Research Interest
As a radiation oncologist, I am involved in the management of genito-urinary and primary central nervous system malignancies. In addition to ongoing collaborative single-institution and multi-institution research work, I have a research interest in dose escalated radiation therapy for prostate cancer with the use of novel imaging modalities with the aim to improve disease free survival and minimize acute and late toxicity. I am also involved in research evaluating the role of hypofractionated radiotherapy high grade gliomas. In addition, I have an active prostate brachytherapy practice offering appropriately selected patients additional choices in the management of prostate cancer.
