Career Trajectory
Bio
My focus for the last 30 years has been the treatment of inoperable tumors with cutting edge technology that can treat the tumor and spare normal tissue with the idea that the patient’s quality of life and their survival is improved. I was the first in the United States to treat tumors in the liver with tiny particles that are delivered through the arteries to deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor while sparing normal tissues usually in the liver. Additionally, I treat bone metastases, and tumors that can be safely reached by probes that deliver heat and “cook” the tumor, and those tumors whose blood supply can be isolated from normal tissues so that specific chemotherapy or radiation can be delivered. I am also interested in head and neck cancers in preventing the complications of the tumor eroding into the carotid artery. These techniques insure that my patients receive the most effective therapy that can directly be applied to the tumor.
The research I am interested in includes the mathematical description of blood vessels so that diagnostic tests can be more accurate, the simulation of blood flow to the liver to determine the effects of treatments to the liver, and in some novel therapies that are based on specific targets in the tumor gene. I also conduct industry-sponsored trials and National Cancer Institute-funded cooperative group trials.
