Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My main clinical specialties are radiation treatment of lung cancer and head & neck cancer, and I serve as the thoracic radiation oncology program leader.
My research interests include 4-D multimodality imaging to capture and compensate for breathing-induced motion using CT, PET, and MR; novel functional/metabolic imaging methods to characterize tumor biology; high-precision image-guided radiation therapy including 4-D IMRT, dynamic arc therapy, and radiosurgery.
Clinical Trials
- 4D-CT-based Ventilation Imaging for Adaptive Functional Guidance in Radiotherapy Recruiting
- High-Dose or Standard-Dose Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy With or Without a Biological Inhibitor in Treating Patients with Newly Diagnosed Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery Recruiting
- Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage I or Stage II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Can Be Removed By Surgery Recruiting
- Three Different Radiation Therapy Regimens in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Receiving Cisplatin and Etoposide Recruiting
- A Longitudinal Study of Plasma EBV DNA in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma from Both Endemic and Non-Endemic Patient Populations Recruiting
