Chang, Daniel T
Academic Appointments
- Assistant Professor - Med Center Line, Radiation Oncology - Radiation Therapy
Clinical Focus
- Radiation Oncology
- Cancer of the Stomach
- Cancer of Anus
Research Interest
I specialize in the treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies. I am interested in developing stereotactic body radiotherapy for tumors of the liver, both primary and metastatic. I am interested in developing functional imaging as a means of determining treatment response with radiation. I am also interested in developing image-guided radiotherapy to improve radiation delivery for GI cancers to reduce toxicity and improve disease outcome.
