Biographic Summary (Background, Academic Interests and Activities, Clinical Activities)
I care for patients with brain tumours and breast cancer. I am involved in the teaching of medical students and radiation oncology residents, as well as radiation oncology clinical fellows and graduate students in medical physics. I am presently the local principal investigator of two clinical trials at BC Cancer – Vancouver: Canadian Cancer Trials Group CE.7 (A phase III trial of stereotactic radiosurgery compared with hippocampal-avoidant whole brain radiotherapy plus memantine for 5-15 brain metastases) and MA.39 (TAILOR RT: a randomized trial of regional radiotherapy in biomarker low risk node positive and T3N0 breast cancer). I am the BC Cancer principal Investigator for the Randomized phase II non-inferiority study of 5-day versus 1-day RAPid SimPLE (RAPPLE) targeted radiation treatment for brain Metastases (NCT05050929).
