Mack Roach III, MD, is a Professor of Radiation Oncology, Medical
Oncology and Urology, at the University of California, San Francisco.
Roach earned his MD from Stanford University School of Medicine.
His major research interest involves the application of 3-D conformal
and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatment planning
technology as a major component of combined modality management
of prostate cancer and other solid tumors. Over the last 10 years,
his research efforts have been directed at defining optimal imaging
modalities, as well as criteria for defining target volumes and
improved treatment techniques. Roach chaired one of the most important
large prospective randomized trials comparing different strategies
for locally advanced prostate cancer. He has gained international
recognition as an authority on treatment planning for prostate
cancer and served as senior author for the guidelines for treatment
planning recently published by the American College of Radiology.
Roach is a member of several professional societies including
the American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Society for
Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, Radiation Therapy Oncology
Group, the NCI IMRT Working Group and American Joint Commission
for Cancer (AJCC) Staging (GU), the American Cancer Society (ACS)
Task for Cancer Screening Guidelines (Prostate cancer) and the
NCI Concept Evaluation Panel (Prostate Cancer Phase III Trials).
