Patrick Gagnon, MD, a House Officer in the Department of Radiation Medicine, was awarded a 2009 ASCO Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Award. The award of $50,000 recognizes his research into positioning and motion tracking for patients undergoing intensity modulated radiation therapy for head and neck cancer using the Calypso 4D Image Guided Radiation Therapy system. “This is the largest award to a resident in our department to date,” said Charles Thomas, MD, Chair, Department of Radiation Medicine. “Most of the clinician researchers competing for this award are junior faculty, or have advanced fellowships in medical oncology.”
