About

Dao Lam is a leading figure in the advancement of adaptive radiation oncology, with a primary focus on integrating real-time imaging into proton therapy. His most influential work, "Toward adaptive proton therapy guided with a mobile helical CT scanner" (2018), has garnered 18 citations and represents a pivotal step toward personalized cancer treatment. Lam’s research centers on developing mobile CT-based systems that enable clinicians to adjust proton beam delivery in response to anatomical changes during a treatment course, addressing a critical challenge in precision radiotherapy. By demonstrating the feasibility of in-room helical CT guidance, he has laid the groundwork for more responsive and accurate dose delivery, potentially reducing side effects and improving outcomes for patients with tumors subject to motion or deformation. His contributions bridge medical physics, imaging technology, and clinical oncology, offering a practical pathway to truly adaptive therapy. Lam’s work is particularly notable for its translational focus, directly tackling barriers to clinical implementation and inspiring further innovation in image-guided radiation oncology.
