She earned a Masters in Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health in 2006.
Dr. Goodman’s interests include image-guide radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, and intensity modulated radiotherapy treatment planning for gastrointestinal cancers with the intent of reducing toxicity and improving results with radiation therapy. She has also focused her research on quality of life and late effects after radiotherapy. In addition to her interest in technical advances in radiation oncology, she is involved in the development of therapeutic protocols combining radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted agents for gastrointestinal cancers. She has been selected for inclusion in Castle Connolly’s list of America’s Top Doctors for several years.
Dr. Goodman is an internationally recognized expert in Gastrointestinal Cancer and has served in numerous leadership roles on multiple ASTRO, ASCO, and RTOG/NRG committees.

She is the national Study Chair for the recently completed CALGB/Alliance Cooperative Group phase II trial (CALGB 80803) investigating PET scan-directed therapy for esophageal cancer. She has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, review articles, and chapters.
