Meet Dr. Mary Feng

I am motivated to improve the lives of patients and families today and impact many more in the future

Dr. Mary Feng specialized in treating patients with cancers of the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Her research focuses on technical and biological methods to individualize and adapt radiotherapy for each patient to maximize the effectiveness of treatment and minimize side effects. Her primary goals are 1) Improving outcomes for patients with pancreas and liver cancer through novel combination treatments; 2) Adapting radiotherapy based on early blood and imaging biomarkers of tumor response and treatment effects on nearby organs; and 3) Evaluating the use of advanced technologies in radiotherapy.

Dr. Feng is Vice-Chair for Clinical Research in Radiation Oncology and Medical Director of the Clinical Research Network Office for the Cancer Center at UCSF. She also has served on many national and international cancer organization panels and groups, including the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Panel, the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancer Guideline Advisory Group, and the American Society for Radiation Oncology IHE-RO Clinical Advisory Subcommittee as co-chair.
