Biography

Aaron Grossberg, M.D., Ph.D. is an associate professor of radiation medicine. He completed his medical and doctorate degrees at OHSU before completing his residency training in radiation oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Grossberg’s practice focuses on cancers of the pancreas, and breast. He specializes in the use of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and hypofractionated radiation for treatment of both early and locally-advanced pancreas cancer with an emphasis on genetic and molecular factors that affect toxicities after radiation therapy. In a joint appointment with the Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center and the Brenden-Colson Center for Pancreatic Care, Dr. Grossberg studies the interaction between cancer and metabolism in an effort to identify ways to diagnose cancers sooner and improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
