Scientific Report on TUM-IAS Fellowship
In patients with breast cancer, the most common cancer in women, radiation therapy to the breast or chest is frequently needed to control the tumor and improve the chance of survival. full report
Short CV
Dr. Nina A. Mayr is Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She earned her medical degree at the Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München, Germany. She completed her radiation oncology residency and a fellowship in Breast and Gynecologic Radiation Oncology at the University of Iowa, where she subsequently served on the faculty. Before she created Department of Radiation Medicine at the Ohio State University and served as its inaugural Chair, she was the Director of Radiation Oncology and Professor & Vice Chair of Radiological Sciences at the University of Oklahoma (OU), where she built OU’s new radiation oncology facility. In 2013 Dr. Mayr joined the University of Washington (UW) and served as the Professor and Chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology from 2013 to 2018. She is currently is the George E. Laramore Endowed Professor in the UW School of Medicine.
