In this edition of the On Target podcast, Dr Akila Viswanathan speaks with Dr Kristin Redmond about treating brain and spinal tumors and her research on stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

Dr Redmond discusses some ongoing clinical trials using SBRT, a highly precise form of radiation therapy used to treat tumors in while minimizing damage to surrounding areas, that are exploring optimal doses and treatment techniques to improve patient outcomes.

They also highlight the benefits of collaboration in multidisciplinary care at Johns Hopkins, where experts from radiation oncology, medical oncology, surgery, radiology and other fields work together to provide the best possible care for patients with complex cases, including rare tumors.

Dr Redmond also touches on the innovative use of circulating tumor DNA to detect tumor recurrence early and her research on the neuropsychological effects of radiation on the brain.
