- Central Nervous System Radiation Oncology
The Central Nervous System Radiation Oncology department specializes in treatment of all central nervous system tumors, both primary and metastatic. Faculty work with neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, diagnostic neuro-radiologists, neuro-pathologists, radiation physicists and nurses who are experts in treating brain tumors and spinal tumors.
Faculty members provide high-quality patient care using the latest technologies in radiation oncology. The department’s physician-scientists conduct extramurally funded translational research and many potentially practice-changing clinical trials.
Their areas of expertise include the use of MRI simulation for CNS radiation planning and using concurrent brain radiation and immunotherapy, FLASH-RT, and artificial intelligence to accurately identify brain metastases on MRI, resulting in several impactful publications with the intent to transition these outcomes to clinical application.
