Clinical Expertise:

Gastrointestinal cancers, including pancreas, liver, esophagus, stomach, instestinal, colon, rectal, and anal cancers. I also treat lung tumors. I specialize in using stereotactic radiation to deliver short courses of radiation with the highest accuracy to well-defined targets while minimizing the risk of side effects.

Medical Education:

MD, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA, 2005

Residency:

Stich Radiation Center, Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York,
NY.

Certification:

American Board of Radiology, Radiation Oncology

Professional Societies:

American College of Radiology;
American Society of Clinical Oncology;
American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology;
American Medical Association

Honors and Awards

Clinical Fellow, ASCO/AACR Workshop on Methods in Clinical Cancer Research, 2009;
Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award, 2009;
Lang Research Award, New York Hospital of Queens Residents and Fellows Day, 2009;
American Radium Society Travel Grant, 2009;
2009 ASCO Cancer Foundation Merit Award, 2009;
International Society of Gastrointestinal Oncology Conference Educational Grant, 2008

Research Interests:

My interests are in clinical research for gastrointestinal cancers. This includes the new application of radiation technology to increase surgical resectability and cure rates. It also includes outcomes work to determine which management strategies are the most effective for these patients.
