Hak Choy, Professor and Chairman, UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas
Specialties: Radiation Oncology
Dr. Hak Choy currently serves as the Nancy B and Jake L Hamon Distinguished Chair in Therapeutic Oncology Research at the prestigious University of Texas. In addition, Dr. Choy is the chair of the Lung Committee of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). Dr Choy led the efforts to incorporate "the new generation" of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents with thoracic radiation. His contribution to the management of locally advanced NSCLC influenced the practice significantly. He is once again at the leading edge of two important areas of research in the treatment of locally advanced NSCLC - one to incorporate pemetrexed and another to redefine the optimal dose of radiation therapy. In the contemporary lung cancer arena, Dr Choy will be one among a select group of individuals making a significant and practice changing contribution to the field of lung cancer today.
