Research Abstract

My primary interest is in pediatric malignancies. As a pediatric radiation oncologist, I am involved in the treatment of many pediatric malignancies including but not limitied to rhabdomyosarcmoa, Ewing sarcoma, soft tissue sarcomas, neuroblastoma, renal tumors and brain tumors as well as lymphoma and leukemias. Another important area of focus is radiotherapy for palliation in advanced childhood cancer
