Research
Focus
- The treatment and outcomes of patients with gynecologic and genitourinary malignancies. Current work focuses on development of new treatment strategies combining modern radiotherapy and chemotherapy in post-cystectomy bladder cancer patients. Other work involves investigating strategies for adapting brachytherapy and external beam radiation treatments to improving outcomes in cervical cancer patients.
