About Dr. Martin C. Tom
Dr. Martin Tom is an Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he specializes in adult central nervous system (CNS) oncology, including primary and metastatic cancer of the brain and spine.
A native of Dallas, Texas, Dr. Tom completed his bachelor's degree in Biology at the University of Texas at Austin and received his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch, where he graduated summa cum laude and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He then completed his residency in radiation oncology at the Cleveland Clinic, where he developed a passion for CNS oncology. He is an active clinician and researcher, and has published numerous scientific manuscripts, book chapters, and national treatment guidelines. His clinical interests involve leveraging advanced radiotherapeutic and imaging techniques, in combination with novel systemic therapies, to improve outcomes for patients with cancer involving the brain and spine.
Dr. Tom has clinical expertise in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), proton therapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), including Gamma Knife radiosurgery. He is a member of the American Board of Radiology (ABR), the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), the American Radium Society (ARS), and the Society for Neuro Oncology (SNO), among other professional organizations.
