Kamila Anna Nowak Choi

Dr. Kamila Anna Nowak Choi serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland, with primary practice locations at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health and the Maryland Proton Treatment Center in Bel Air, MD. Her clinical expertise spans breast, gynecological, thoracic, and central nervous system malignancies utilizing advanced radiotherapy modalities.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Bachelor of Science in Biology from Bryn Mawr College (2008), featuring DNA methylation research
• Medical degree from Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University (2012)
• Medical Internship at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (2013)
• Radiation Oncology Residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (2017)

Dr. Choi's research integrates clinical innovation with technical advancement, focusing on meningioma biology, heart-sparing techniques for breast cancer, metabolic impacts on treatment outcomes, and telemedicine applications. Her work emphasizes precision radiation delivery through proton therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and brachytherapy while investigating tumor-specific responses and pandemic-adaptive care models. She actively explores how obesity and diabetes influence brain metastasis progression in breast cancer patients.

Publication trends reveal consistent contributions to clinical translation, with recent work addressing pandemic-era treatment modifications, meningioma classification systems, and molecular radiosensitization. Her scholarship bridges technical radiotherapy optimization with patient-specific biological factors, particularly in CNS tumors and breast cancer management.

At UM Upper Chesapeake, Dr. Choi directs clinical trial implementation to provide cutting-edge cancer care access while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams at the Kaufman Cancer Center. Her practice integrates proton therapy capabilities with conventional radiation techniques to optimize therapeutic ratios across complex malignancies.
