Message from the Chair
Our nationally-recognized faculty specialize in the management and development of cancer therapies within their specific area of expertise, which has helped define them as leaders in research, participants in the latest clinical trials, and invitations to speak at national and international conferences.
Radiation Oncology faculty hold leadership positions in organizations including the American College of Radiology, the American Society of Radiation Oncology, the American Brachytherapy Society, NRG Oncology, and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. Learn about our faculty.
Our research portfolio includes investigator-initiated studies, cooperative group studies through NRG Oncology, Southwest Oncology Group, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-American College of Radiology Imaging Network, Alliance and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project; and participation in multi-center national and international clinical trials. Our studies include determining the value of radiation therapy for different cancers and looking at the value of dose-escalation; newer radiation technologies; concurrent systemic therapies (including immunotherapy), and many other innovative approaches.
Faculty often engage medical student volunteers for research projects. Students interested in volunteer research opportunities in a specific area of expertise may reach out to faculty members via email, or to our Director of Clinical Research, Dr. Tamer Refaat.Ten-week, full-time Summer Cancer Research Intern opportunities in Radiation Oncology, Imaging and Technology are available for Loyola University Chicago freshman, sophomores, and juniors. Faculty also frequently mentor students through the Student Training in Approaches to Research (STAR) Program.
We offer an ACGME accredited four-year medical residency program as well as a two-year CAMPEP-accredited program in Radiation Oncology Physics.
Please contact us with any questions.
