About Dr. Anna Lee
Dr. Anna Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology. She specializes 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). Her 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. Dr. Lee strives to provide patient-centered care with compassion and is dedicated to tailoring each treatment to the individual patient.
