Anthony J. Apicelli

Anthony J. Apicelli, MD, PhD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Washington University School of Medicine, specializing in brain metastases, head and neck cancer, and lung cancer. He maintains clinical appointments at Siteman Cancer Center and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, with additional hospital affiliations at the VA Medical Center in St. Louis.

His research focuses on radiation therapy techniques for head and neck cancers, HPV-related malignancies, and metastatic disease management. Recent work examines contralateral neck dissection outcomes, palliative radiotherapy protocols including PEAQ-RT, and molecular mechanisms of radiation resistance. His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to radiation oncology, with significant work in prostate cancer bone metastases, ovarian cancer salvage therapy, and uveal melanoma brachytherapy.

Dr. Apicelli's 25+ publications since 2002 show evolving expertise from early molecular biology research on tumor suppressor pathways to current clinical radiation oncology applications. Key emerging trends include HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer management, advanced radiation delivery systems, and molecular correlates of treatment response.

His clinical practice at the Center for Advanced Medicine focuses on complex radiation oncology cases requiring specialized expertise in metastatic disease and challenging anatomical sites.
