John P Hayes

John P Hayes, MD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. His clinical practice focuses on gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancer, sarcomas, and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), with hospital affiliations at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He actively contributes to professional societies including the Connective Tissue Oncology Society, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology.

Education:

• MD: West Virginia University (1987)
• Residency: Northwestern University, McGaw Medical Center (1991)

Dr. Hayes' research spans gastrointestinal malignancies (pancreatic, liver, esophageal, and colorectal cancers), breast cancer, and sarcomas, with specialized expertise in stereotactic body radiotherapy precision techniques. His work integrates clinical oncology with quality improvement initiatives to optimize radiation therapy safety and efficacy, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes in complex cancer management scenarios.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a strong trend toward interdisciplinary collaboration in gastrointestinal stromal tumor management, AI-driven pancreatic cancer risk stratification, and radiation physics innovation. These studies demonstrate consistent focus on translating genomic data and technical advancements into clinical practice, particularly for hard-to-treat abdominal malignancies and radiation delivery optimization.
