Associate Attending

Overview of Dr. Wu

I am an academic radiation oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, specializing in the treatment and research of gastrointestinal and lung cancers. I have particular expertise in stereotactic body radiotherapy for lung cancer, radiotherapy for esophageal cancer, and brachytherapy for thoracic and GI cancers. My clinical research is driven by practical questions and seeks to optimize radiation techniques, predict radiation outcomes, and prevent radiation toxicity. I also serve as the program director for MSKCC’s radiation oncology residency and have a keen interest in medical education.
