Radiation Oncology

Research

My research goal is to improve treatment outcomes and reduce toxicity in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies by: (1) introducing and analyzing the use of cutting-edge radiation oncology technology, eg intensity-modulated radiotherapy, image-guided radiotherapy, and stereotactic body radiotherapy; (2) developing therapeutic protocols combining radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted agents for gastrointestinal cancer; and (3) investigating late effects of radiotherapy, including impact on quality of life.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments

The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.


Industry Relationships

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.

Dr. Goodman has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
