Biography

Dr. Wong's clinical practice and research interests are focused in the management of genito-urinary and breast cancers. For patients with prostate cancer, his team has evaluated the integration of prostate MRI scan into treatment planning to target areas of abnormal signal to higher doses of radiation using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). The goals are to achieve better cancer control while minimizing side effects to surrounding normal tissues. For many patients, proton beam therapy is offered as a treatment option for prostate cancer.

Patient Specific Characteristics Are an Important Factor That Determines the Risk of Acute Grade ≥ 2 Rectal Toxicity in Patients Treated for Prostate Cancer with IMRT and Daily Image Guidance Based on Implanted Gold Markers

Aim: To model acute rectal toxicity in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer using dosimetry and patient specific characteristics. Methods: A database of 79 prostate cancer patients treated with image guided IMRT was used to fit parameters of Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) and logistic regression Normal Tissue Complications ...
