Biography

Dr. Thomas J. FitzGerald is a professor and chair of the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School Department of Radiation Oncology and the director of the National Cancer Institute Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) office in Lincoln, RI. In this capacity, Dr. FitzGerald serves as the quality assurance director for multiple cooperative groups within the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). Protons have become incorporated into NCTN clinical trials, especially in the pediatric domain, and IROC writes all clinical trials within the NCTN for proton care and reviews all patient data in real-time to ensure targets treated with both protons and photons meet compliance standards established for each trial.
