About Dr. Lauren E. Colbert
Dr. Colbert is a Radiation Oncologist who specializes in the treatment of gynecologic cancers, including cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancers, and also in the palliative treatment of other cancers that have spread to the bone in our Rapid Access Bone Metastasis Clinic. Similarly, her clinical research focuses on both new approaches to treatment of cervical cancers and clinical workflows that can improve patients’ experiences with palliative radiation and decrease resource utilization, so needed radiotherapy can be delivered in low resource settings. She also has a translational research laboratory that focuses on understanding why and how human papillomavirus (HPV) related cancers (such as cervical, anal and oropharyngeal cancers) respond to radiation. The goal of this research is to improve survival and decrease side effects from these cancers through finding markers in the tumor or blood.
