Eric H. Radany, M.D., Ph.D.

Eric Radany, M.D., Ph.D., was winning awards for his clinical and investigative skills even before he finished medical school. At City of Hope since 2004, Dr. Radany has decades of experience as a radiation oncologist, and a well-earned reputation as an acknowledged expert in the field.

His expertise includes such advanced procedures as stereotactic radiosurgery, conformal radiotherapy, image-guided radiotherapy, and TomoTherapy. His primary interest is in radiation biology, using systemic agents to sensitize the effects of radiation against cancer. Dr. Radanyalso treats pediatric cancers and brain cancers.

As a nationally recognized authority, Dr. Radany has authored dozens of scholarly papers and serves as editor or reviewer on several prestigious scientific journals. He is a sought-after expert and an anchor of our radiation oncology team.
