Raymond B. Wynn, MD, FACR, has been appointed vice chair of network operations in the department of radiation oncology at Loyola Medicine.
Wynn — who also will serve as medical director at Presence Resurrection Medical Center — will provide direct oversight and clinical care in the expansion of Loyola’s oncology network.
Wynn previously served as associate director of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s 21-center academic radiation oncology network. He specializes in treatment of brain and spine tumors, lung cancer, prostate cancer and other genitourinary malignancies.
His academic and research interests include conducting national cooperative group clinical trials and addressing disparities in cancer treatments through research, education and advocacy. He also has conducted extensive research into clinical applications for stereotactic body radiation therapy.
“Stereotactic body radiation therapy and other leading-edge technologies used in radiation oncology are improving at a pace similar to that of cell phone technology improvements,” Wynn said in a press release. “This is enabling us to personalize treatments to individual patients, minimize side effects, improve quality of life, increase cure rates and prolong lives.”
