About Andrew McDonald
Title
Assistant Professor
Faculty Appointment
Associate Professor
Research Interests
My primary research interest is to gain a better understanding of the types of long-term side effects experienced by cancer survivors, primarily patients with head-and-neck cancer and men with prostate cancer. I hope to better identify factors which predispose patients to having worse quality of life outcomes after cancer therapy and develop strategies to improve these outcomes. I also work to develop clinical trials of supportive care interventions during radiation therapy as well as participate as site investigator for multi-institutional therapeutic clinical trials.
