Anita Mahajan, MD, FASTRO

Since February 2017, I have served as the Clinical Director of Particle Therapy at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Before that, I was at MD Anderson Cancer Center for 15 years where I gained knowledge and experience in patient care, education, and research. I served as the section head for pediatric and CNS radiation oncology service that was successful in clinical and basic research collaborations in both adult neuro-oncology and pediatric oncology. I have had a strong interest in particle therapy. We have a very active proton therapy program at Mayo Clinic and are in the process of launching a carbon therapy program. The goal is to identify and provide therapy for indications where proton and/or carbon therapy enhance patient outcomes. These efforts have required collaboration with other institutions and groups, development of research infrastructure and education for all stakeholders. I have been involved at the leadership level at particle therapy co-operative groups, both internationally and nationally that provide a venue to exchange new findings and a platform for education.
