Anna Lee
Assistant Professor
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center at Houston
Department of Radiation Oncology
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology, specializing in the treatment of all types of
head and neck cancers using standard and advanced radiation techniques such as intensity modulated radiation
therapy (IMRT/VMAT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), proton therapy, brachytherapy and 3D conformal
radiation (photons/electrons).
My research interests include improving the therapeutic ratio in the re-irradiation setting, the psychosocial impact of
radiation therapy in patients and gender equity in the medical field. Specifically, I am looking at clinical outcomes of
patients who receive re-irradiation with protons and SBRT and am in development of a clinical trial for those who had
surgical salvage prior to re-irradiation. She is interested in examining and trending biomarkers that may impact and
predict long-term outcomes which may be imaging- and serum-based.
A student working in this environment will be able to manage large datasets and exhibit meticulous data keeping and
have some familiarity with statistical analyses.
