Ira J. Dunkel
I am a pediatric oncologist who specializes in the care of children, teenagers, and young adults with brain and eye tumors. In collaboration with colleagues, I am exploring a new treatment regimen for patients with medulloblastoma that is intended to reduce side effects by limiting the amount of radiation given to areas of the brain without cancer. I am also working to develop new treatments for retinoblastoma, a rare eye tumor that occurs in children. These include the use of intensive therapy for children whose retinoblastoma has metastasized (spread outside of the eye) and local chemotherapy for those with advanced cancer in the eye.
