Patrick Granton

Patrick Granton is a Researcher at the Department of Radiotherapy at Erasmus University Medical Center, with a focus on advanced radiation therapy techniques. His work spans multiple cancer types with particular emphasis on precision treatment delivery systems.

Dr. Granton's research interests center on improving the accuracy and effectiveness of radiation therapy through technological innovation. His work in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has significantly contributed to pancreatic cancer treatment protocols. He has pioneered research in surface-guided radiation therapy for breast cancer patients using deep inspiration breath hold techniques. His investigations into esophageal toxicity prevention during lung tumor radiation have led to clinically significant protocol changes. Additionally, his work on deformable image registration and autocontouring has advanced adaptive radiation therapy capabilities for abdominal tumors.

Analysis of Granton's recent publications reveals a strong trend toward precision radiation therapy with emphasis on real-time adaptation and minimizing treatment toxicity. His research spans both technological innovation in treatment delivery systems and clinical outcomes research, with particular focus on gastrointestinal and thoracic malignancies. The interdisciplinary nature of his work bridges medical physics, radiation biology, and clinical oncology.

Dr. Granton has supervised at least one research project as indicated by the Supervised Work section in his profile. His research has been supported by collaborations across multiple institutions, with significant contributions to randomized clinical trials and technological implementation studies in radiation oncology.

His work has been implemented in clinical practice as evidenced by references in clinical guideline sources, and has received attention from multiple news outlets and social media platforms, indicating its significance to the broader medical community.
