High-tech medicine can be adapted to the individual patient’s needs. I enjoy using the latest technological innovations in radiation oncology to design and carry out the optimal treatment for each patient. I am particularly interested in approaches that combine the benefits of radiotherapy with the use of chemotherapeutic agents or biological-response modifiers and in using genetic information to individualize patient treatment.
