About Dr. Kuban
I have been involved with clinical radiation and radiation-related research for the past 25 years. For the last 10 years, my efforts have been directed solely at Genitourinary cancers. As evidenced by my biosketch, I have collaborated on several grants and studies involving long-term follow-up and treatment related effects. I have done research on cancer outcomes, treatment associated complications and quality of life issues. I was one of the developers of our institutional Genitourinary Survivorship Clinic.
