H.Michael Yu, MD

Cancer Focus:
Brain Cancer, Spinal Tumor

Dr. Yu is board certified in Radiation Oncology and in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. His clinical interests include radiotherapy and stereotactic treatment for brain and spine tumors as well as radiotherapy for palliation to improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with advanced and metastatic cancers. His research interests focus on improving therapeutic outcomes using advanced radiation techniques including stereotactic radiosurgery and hypofractionated radiotherapy for brain and spine tumors. In addition, he has special interest in the integration of radiotherapy in palliative care to improve the quality and efficiency of palliative care.
