 Hi, I'm Dr. Bill Regine and I'd like to welcome you to the University of Maryland Department of Radiation Oncology. For more than 100 years, we have been providing patient-centered and compassionate cancer care, advancing scientific knowledge, and providing state-of-the-art educational opportunities. Our team treats every type of cancer at six locations throughout Maryland, collaborating on treatment plans with leading-edge treatment modalities and clinical trials. Our depth and diversity of experience make the University of Maryland the right place for patient care and the ideal place for a professional career. Hello, I'm Dr. Sarah McAvoy, the Program Director of the Medical Residency Program. I'd like to give you a brief overview of a select few of the many therapies that we offer. We provide stereotactic radiation therapy using linear accelerator-based systems such as the EDGE, as well as Gamma Knife. The Gamma Pod, invented at the University of Maryland, provides a stereotactic therapy for early-stage breast cancer with minimal side effects. At the Maryland Proton Treatment Center, we offer Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy, the most advanced form of proton therapy in the world. We offer a robust brachytherapy program and are a regional referral center for complex gynecologic brachytherapies such as interstitial treatment. Additionally, we offer brachytherapy for prostate, breast, and head and neck malignancies. We have one of the most experienced selective internal radiation therapy centers in the country to treat liver cancer. We utilize thermal therapy, also known as hyperthermia, which heats the tumor and sensitizes cancer to other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. As a department, we are committed to continually updating our technology to provide the best possible modalities for our patients. The Department of Radiation Oncology is a cornerstone of the University of Maryland, Marlene and Stuart Greenabomb Comprehensive Cancer Center, which ranks among the top 35 in the country for cancer care, according to the U.S. News and World Report's Best Hospitals list. We work collaboratively with a robust multidisciplinary team and pride ourselves on caring for the whole patient. Patients have access to services such as concierge, social workers, dieticians, and geneticists. At the University of Maryland, our calling is to train the next generation of leaders. We have a number of educational programs led by outstanding faculty, including medical residency, physics residency, a medical physics proton fellowship, summer fellowships, the Dr. Nancy K. Welker Fellowship in proton therapy and advanced radiation modalities, radiation therapy and dosimetry training programs, and medical student rotations. In addition, our department hosts annual educational courses in hyperthermia, radiobiology, medical physics, and oral board exam preparation. We are committed to providing our patients with access to cutting-edge investigator-initiated clinical trials, as well as National Cancer Institute-sponsored cooperative group clinical trials. The department has consistently ranked among the top 10 NRG main-member sites worldwide in terms of patient accrual to energy oncology trials. The Division of Translational Radiation Sciences conducts novel radiobiology science to advance new drugs, medical devices, and therapeutic techniques for clinical trials with additional biodefense applications. The Medical Physics Division conducts medical physics research and collaborates with the clinical care team to drive significant amounts of research funding for the department. We are proud to be the University of Maryland Department of Radiation Oncology. Simply put, we provide hope to patients and families during one of the most stressful times of their lives. We are inspired by our patients and driven by passion. It is who we are and it is what we do. Thank you.
