Nancy Y. Lee, MD
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of 3D conformal radiotherapy. My main interest is to use this technology to treat patients with head and neck cancer, both with the goal of improving their outcome as well as decreasing the side effects of treatment. I am also the principal investigator of a national clinical trial for the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) that evaluates IMRT for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. In addition, I recently participated with many collaborators -- including RTOG and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) -- to define the appropriate treatment volume for the neck in patients who are receiving IMRT for head and neck cancer.
