Dr. Katz completed his internship in internal medicine at Evanston Hospital in 1999. He trained in residency at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, completing his training in 2003. During internship and residency, he received several awards for patient care and research. He developed expertise in the use of newer technologies such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to improve the accuracy and safety of radiation therapy. From 2003-2004, Dr. Katz was on staff at the Massachusetts General Hospital in the Department of Radiation Oncology, where he specialized in breast cancer.
Since joining Radiation Oncology Associates, he remains involved in teaching and research at Harvard Medical School. He created a web-based tool for prostate cancer, CaP Calculator, to help promote shared decision-making between patients and prostate cancer specialists. He also currently serves as the Chair of the IT Development & Resources Committee for ASTRO. Clinical interests include breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, medical informatics and shared decision making. "Community medicine offers me the opportunity to spend more time with my patients to help them with the medical and personal challenges of a cancer diagnosis," Dr. Katz said. "If you need radiation treatment, you should be able to get the best cancer care close to home." |
