Research

As the University Hospital and Academic Medical Center for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) and a NCI-designated clinical cancer center, we believe very strongly in using the power of research to improve technologies, therapies and, most importantly, patient outcomes. That is why our entire team of radiation oncologists and physicists, all faculty members at AECOM, are involved in a large array of studies.

Currently, research is being conducted in the following:

Advanced physics technology such as IG-IMRT, 4D targeting, PET CT and biological treatment planning
Advanced brachytherapy for lung, prostate and gynecologic cancers
Advanced imaging technologies in radiation oncology: PET CT and MR spectroscopy treatment planning
Radiation enhanced tumor vaccines
Radiation and hepatocellular transplantation
Genetics and tissue dynamics of radioprotectant agents
Breast cancer and women’s oncologic health
Angiogenesis, anti-angiogenesis and radiation
Quality of life and patterns of care
IMRT and IG-IMRT standardization and dose measurement
Target motion management and new technology development
Breast cancer irradiation
Inverse treatment planning
Health disparities

Sean, Physician Assistant

Department of Surgery
Moses Division Hospital

Montefiore excels at using the most current evidenced based medicine to care for patients. For physician assistants like me, that means the opportunity to learn hands-on from specialists who are experts in their field. It’s one of the best parts of working at a world-renowned academic medical center over a small community hospital. [more]
