个人简介
Doctor Levitt was a leading international figure in radiation therapy. Some main areas for his contribution were Hodgkin´s disease, breast and prostate cancer. He was editor of the textbook Technological Basis of Radiation Therapy, a fundamental educational book which was released in four editions and used internationally during decades. Doctor Levitt was a member of the American Board of Radiology, President of the American Society of Therapeutic Radiation Oncology, President of the American Radium Society, Director of the American Cancer Society and President of the Radiologic Society of North America. He was an important participant in the International Working Group on Radiotherapy in Stockholm. Doctor Levitt received several awards, among them the American Radium Society Gold Medal, the ASTRO Gold Medal, the American College of Radiology Gold Medal and the Gold Medal of the Radiological Society of North America.
After retirement Doctor Levitt expanded his time in Stockholm and he and his wife developed several close friendships. Apart from doing research his unusual experience in radiation therapy was of great value for the ongoing development of new radiation technologies for high precision radiotherapy treatment in real time (four-dimensional radiotherapy) of prostate cancer. Dose planning and radiobiology were other areas where Doctor Levitt contributed with important advice and his knowledge in imaging linked to radiation therapy was of great importance. He attracted well recognised international radiation therapists, imaging specialists and radiobiologists to visit Stockholm, another vitalising activity offered by Doctor Levitt. His support during more than 20 years of clinical and research activities in Stockholm has been highly appreciated.
Doctor Levitt had another important component of his personality, his kindness. He was always willing to help and never expected anything in return. At the private level we had a rich interaction during many years. Due to age and increasing difficulties to travel Seymour sold the apartment in Stockholm 2014 and thereafter the contact continued by regular discussions over the phone.
