Today, we are happy to introduce Dr. Bob Dess, a radiation oncologist from the University of Michigan, to our listeners!
Dr. Dess is joining us to discuss another type of radiation therapy called Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). SBRT can be a faster and more efficient form of radiation therapy than conventional prostate cancer treatments.
Dr. Dess is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Michigan. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals on prostate cancer. He has collaborated to create novel prognostic models to characterize prostate cancer disease aggressiveness, to analyze racial outcomes, differences, and settings in which disparities are minimized, and to advance more convenient forms of treatment, including Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, and characterize the long-term quality of life post-treatment. Dr. Dess’s guiding principle is to deliver the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. He is interested in maximizing efficiency, minimizing burden, and understanding the long-term toxicity risks of treatment.
Stay tuned to find out how SBRT compares with more conventional treatments for prostate cancer.
