Target Volume Delineation and Treatment Planning for Particle Therapy

Nancy Lee, MD:As a board-certified radiation oncologist, Dr. Lee's expertise is using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to treat patients with thyroid and other head and neck cancers. Using this advanced form of 3D conformal radiotherapy, the goals are twofold - improving patients' outcomes and decreasing the side effects of treatment.Oren Cahlon, MD:Dr. Cahlon is a board-certified radiation oncologist whose clinical practice is primarily focused on breast cancer. As part of a multi-disciplinary team of breast cancer experts, he works with colleagues to identify the optimal treatment approach for each patient.  At Memorial Sloan Kettering, they use the most modern radiation techniques, including prone treatment, deep inspiratory breath hold, partial breast irradiation, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton therapy to deliver the most precise form of radiation.Guoliang Jiang, MD, Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center, Department of Radiation Oncology, Shanghai, ChinaKevin Sine, MD, Procure Proton Therapy Center, Department of Medical Dosimetry, Somerset, NJ, USAJiade J.
