Lung-Thoracic Cancer
Grace Blitzer, MD
Dr. Blitzer is an assistant professor in the Department of Human Oncology at the University of Wisconsin. She serves as the primary radiation oncologist at the UW Cancer Center in Johnson Creek, where she treats all types of cancer in adults. The UW Cancer Center Johnson Creek has a state-of-the-art linear accelerator that is the same as the machines at UW Carbone Cancer Center, which allows me to treat cancer using the same advanced techniques available to UWCCC.
Michael Bassetti, MD, PhD
Dr. Bassetti is an associate professor in the Department of Human Oncology with a clinical focus on gastrointestinal cancers and research interests in MRI-guided radiation and immunotherapy. He has been developing the use of real-time MRI-guided radiation to reduce toxicity, maximize local control and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, he is involved in combining immunotherapies with anatomically targeted high-dose radiotherapy to improve the antigen specific T cell response.
Andrew Baschnagel, MD
Dr. Baschnagel is actively involved in translational and clinical research. I work closely with basic scientists, physicists and clinicians with the goal of fostering new ideas and translating research findings into the clinic. He has experience studying combinations of radiation and novel radiosensitizers and biomarkers of treatment response in patients and in preclinical models. His current work focuses on improving treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with a focus on brain metastases. He is actively involved at the regional and national level, and I am site PI for multiple national clinical studies here at UW.
