Resident Research Activities
Our medical residents have had several presentations and publications in national meetings. Some of these include:
ASTRO 2015
Approximately 11,000 radiation oncologists, medical physicists and related experts met in San Antonio, Texas from October 18-21 to explore the theme “Technology Meets Patient Care” at the 57th Annual ASTRO meeting. Advances and practice-change findings from more than 350 oral presentations, 1,780 posters, and 202 exhibitors were presented. The following abstracts were presented by two of our medical residents and Fourth year UK medical student, Shilpa Sachdeva.
Sameera Kumar MD, Xingzhe Li, Lixin Dong PhD, Li Chen, Guoqiang Yu, and Mahesh Kudrimoti MD Title: Measurement and Clinical Correlation of Head and Neck Tumor Hemodynamic Responses to Radiation Therapy.
