Radiation Oncology Division

Our faculty and staff are committed to exceptional multidisciplinary patient care, innovative translational research and practice-changing clinical trials. 

We have developed a nurturing environment that fosters learning for our postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows, residents and students. We strive to maintain a culture of inclusivity and embrace this philosophy in all facets of our workplace.

The Division of Radiation Oncology consists of  over 200 faculty members across eight departments, Breast Radiation Oncology,  Central Nervous System Radiation Oncology, Experimental Radiation Oncology,  GI Radiation Oncology, GU Radiation Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Radiation Physics and Thoracic Radiation Oncology.

In addition, within the Radiation Oncology department, there are five clinical sections: Pediatrics, Head and Neck, Hematology, Melanoma/Sarcoma and Gynecology.

We deliver compassionate care for patients at multiple cancer center campuses across the greater Houston metropolitan area, including the Texas Medical Center, League City, Sugar Land, West Houston, and The Woodlands.

Our clinical facilities incorporate the most advanced radiotherapy and imaging technologies such as proton therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, magnetic resonance imaging guided linear accelerator (MRI LINAC), brachytherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) also referred to as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). In addition, multiple other promising technologies, including FLASH radiotherapy, are being developed at the pre-clinical stage.

Due to the breadth and depth of expertise among our faculty, we offer unparalleled sub-specialty care to patients. We offer hundreds of therapeutic and non-therapeutic clinical trials across our campuses in Houston, and some are offered at our Cancer Network and collaborating sites across the nation.

Our faculty have demonstrated excellence in multiple research areas including cancer biology, radiation biology, translational science, clinical trials, data science and health services. We have a broad range of extramurally funded research consisting of more than $59M in annual direct costs. Our culture of collaboration and innovation enables our goal of developing novel therapies for the benefit of patients.

We are home to one of the top  ranked radiation oncology residency and radiation physics residency program. Every learner is provided a comprehensive experience in clinical practice in all clinical areas as well as dedicated research time to explore their academic interests. We are committed to training the next generation of academic leaders in radiation oncology and radiation physics.

We invite you to learn more about the breadth of our clinical services, research programs and educational opportunities as we work towards our goal of Making Cancer History®.
