Research Abstract

My research is focused on radiation for thoracic malignancies. Current projects include the use of PET/CT and respiratory gating in the treatement of lung cancer, Helium MRI as a tool to assess for response and planning of radiotherapy, and Intensity modulated radiation therapy in thoracic malignancies. A second intrest is utlizing new molecular therapies such as EGFR and VEGF inhibitors in concert with radiation and chemotherapy in lung cancer. Finally, the improvement of radiotherapy in mesothelioma is a reasrch interest
