Area of Focus
- Outcomes for pediatric patients receiving radiotherapy and correlations with dosimetry
Summary of Research
Dr. Logie participates in clinical research and is primarily focused on pediatric patients receiving radiotherapy. For pediatric patients diagnosed with cancer, outcomes have been steadily improving. With this, we have become aware of the detrimental effects of radiotherapy delivered to developing children and teens. This includes impacting physical, emotional, and social domains. During her fellowship, she reviewed prospective quality of life data in the context of radiation dosimetry for pediatric patients receiving proton therapy. While radiotherapy may be required as part of treatment protocols, delivering radiotherapy with a focus on minimizing toxicity is of interest. Dr. Logie’s research interests focus on outcomes and dosimetry for children and adolescents receiving radiotherapy with both photons and protons. Dr. Logie is also interested in psychosocial outcomes for children and teens receiving treatment for cancer and approaches to improve this.
