Dr. Cosper’s main interest is in Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) induced cancers, such as cervical and head and neck cancer. Specifically, she is interested in how the virus induces different types of chromosomal instability (CIN) and how this affects radiation sensitivity, which may offer some insight into radiation sensitivity or resistance within HPV+ cancers.

Jessica Schuster, MD
Dr. Jessica Schuster ism a clinical associate professor in the Department of Human Oncology and serves as the primary radiation oncologist at UW Cancer Center Johnson Creek, where she treats all adult cancer sites. She has a particular interest in using radiation to treat breast, prostate and lung cancers and benign diseases such as Dupuytren’s contracture. She also focuses on palliative care and symptom management.
Bethany Anderson, MD
Dr. Anderson’s research investigates ways to improve cancer control and reduce side effects of treatment for breast and gynecologic cancer. This includes using advanced imaging and radiation delivery techniques to more precisely identify and treat cancerous areas. I also study shorter treatment courses.
Gregory Cooley, MD
Dr. Cooley is a clinical associate professor in the Department of Human Oncology (DHO). The DHO is one of the few centers in the region offering both low-dose-rate and high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy. Two decades ago, prostate brachytherapy showed superior PSA control rates. With further advances in dosing, fractionation and MRI-based planning, results are even better.
