Innovative researchers and scientists in the field of cancer care, bringing our patients cutting edge treatment options and technology.
The academic faculty in the Department of Radiation Oncology are innovative researchers and scientists in the field of cancer care, bringing our patients cutting edge treatment options and technology. Our clinician faculty conduct research, run clinical trials, and write scholarly publications. Our research faculty has a diverse research area ranging from cyclotron, neutron therapy, experimental micro-radiation, imaging, translational research, and various labs and focus areas. For highlights and details, please see below.
There are many ongoing clinical trials at University of Washington/Fred Hutch Cancer Center, some involving radiation therapy. This link will take you to the list of clinical trials on the Fred Hutch Cancer Center website.
We are committed to excellence in education and continuous improvement in medical physics and radiation oncology training. Our research in education focuses on enhancing the learning experience of our residents and preparing them for successful careers in radiation therapy.
Ultra-high dose-rate radiation for cancer treatment. The “FLASH effect” is a phenomenon that preferentially spares normal tissues without sacrificing anti-tumor efficacy when compared to conventional dose-rate radiation.
