Vishruta Dumane, PhD

Dr. Vishruta Ajitkumar Dumane is a Medical Physicist and Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Medical Dosimetry Program Director as well as Clinical Associate Professor at Stony Brook University. She joined the Mount Sinai Medical Center after completing her training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in 2005. Her research focuses on development of treatment planning approaches that are designed to cover the target volumes while minimizing dose to critical organs, developing knowledge-based models for automated treatment planning for various treatment sites including mesothelioma, multiple cranial lesion stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and prostate cancer. She has authored a book chapter on intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for breast cancer including reducing dose to organs in the supraclavicular region, use of DIBH to reduce low dose, combining 3D and VMAT to improve regional nodal irradiation and optimizing treatment positioning to achieve better heart sparing for a left-sided breast cancer case, the latter of which was a case contest winner.
