Summary

I am a dedicated Genito-Urinary Oncologist and certificate holder for a Focused Practice in Brachytherapy by the American Board of Radiology. I am an active member of the NRG GU Steering Committee and an internationally recognized Clinical Trialist with a focus on Advanced Image Guided Radiation Oncology for both molecular imaging and MRI functional imaging for prostate cancer as well as Renal Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy. I currently serve as a Co-Chair for the Renal Task Force for the NCI to help develop concepts for submission prior to approval by the NCI and CTEP. I have served on the NCCN panels for Prostate, Renal, and Elderly Oncology previously in prior positions to help formulate treatment guidelines for these patient populations.
