Radiation cancer specialist
Dr. Albert Chang is a radiation oncologist who specializes in radiation therapy for genitourinary, gastrointestinal and gynecologic cancers. He has expertise in radiation techniques such as stereotactic body radiotherapy, Cyberknife radiosurgery, brachytherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy.
Chang earned a Ph.D. in molecular medicine and a medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine in 2007. He completed a residency in radiation oncology at Washington University School of Medicine. In research, his interests are in the development of molecular imaging probes and targeted therapies. He has developed imaging agents that characterize tumors at the cellular level. These imaging agents have the potential to be used to define disease extent, predict treatment response and optimize therapy. He is also involved in the design of clinical trials to study advanced imaging, radiation therapy and targeted drug therapies to maximize the therapeutic effect and minimize side effects. He is an assistant professor of radiation oncology at UCSF.
