Biographic Summary ( Background, Academic Interests and Activities, Clinical Activities )

David Voduc has been a radiation oncologist at the BC Cancer Agency since 2006. His clinical focus is breast and gastrointestinal oncology. David Voduc completed a research fellowship in molecular epidemiology at the Genetic Pathology Evaluation Centre at the University of British Columbia. His research has focused primarily on breast cancer subtyping using immunohistochemistry, and using novel immunohistochemical biomarkers to improve clinical decision-making. Applying this knowledge to the clinic will hopefully lead to more selective use of adjuvant therapies, improved survival outcomes, and reduced treatment-related morbidity. David Voduc is also a member of the Breast Cancer Outcomes Unit and is the current chair of the collaborative GPEC-BCOU group (www.gpec.ubc.ca). He is an active member of the BC Cancer Agency Research Ethics Board and the Research and Clinical Trials Advisory Group.

* The British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA)-Vancouver Centre (VC) is the largest academic cancer centre for the BCCA, located in downtown Vancouver and treating about one third of the radiation oncology cancer patients in the Province of BC. Over 4360 cancer patients are seen each year in the radiation oncology department. There are 20 Radiation Oncology (RO) physician faculty with full disease site specialization and clinical programs of excellence, 2 General Practice (Internist) Oncology Physicians, 3 Clinical Fellows and 10 RO residents. The BCCA-Vancouver Centre also has 17 physicists and a graduate training program in physics, 15 nurses, >60 radiation therapists clerks, secretaries and many others within radiation oncology. General capabilities include 9 Linacs (including Truebeam), 1 cobalt, VMAT (first developed in the BCCA-VC), IMRT, SBRT, IGRT, HDR and LDR brachytherapy suites, and Protons (at the TRIUMF centre). The Vancouver Centre radiation oncology department conducts all levels of research (basic, translational, clinical, population), and is the main educational institution in BC for the training of graduate (residents) and undergraduate (medical) students. The interdisciplinary Radiation Oncology team is part of the even larger multidisciplinary and provincial teams.
