The research arm of the Department of Radiation Oncology is tasked with
investigating novel applications of radiation therapy, both for tumor control
prior to surgical resection and for palliative care. Our overarching goal is to
advance the study of radiation biology in order to maximize treatment
effectiveness at every level.
Our department consists of an outstanding team of talented, creative, and
exceptional scientists, physicians, and other support staff. As a world leader
in radiation oncology, our teams at Beaumont have developed some of the most
recognized radiation treatments available today, including adaptive radiation-
and image-guided radiation therapy. Combined with interdisciplinary
collaborative research initiatives, both from within the walls of Beaumont and
with outside institutions, our work has the continued potential for the
significant long-term impact on the science of radiation oncology, as well as
the management of each patient that receives treatment here and elsewhere.
