Collaboration Pistenmaa

Each of our physicians is on the faculty of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and serves in a teaching role. In many cases, our faculty members are also laboratory and clinical scientists who engage in cancer research efforts at the medical center. Our physicians participate in scientific interactions with other distinguished researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center, many of whom are ranked among the finest scientific minds in the world. It is from this wealth of knowledge that physicians in the Department of Radiation Oncology can offer patients the most advanced techniques in radiotherapy, as well as opportunities to participate in clinical trials of promising investigational treatments.

The radiation oncologists listed below are specialists in treating cancer of these different disease sites:
