Congratulations to Dr. Sherif Shaaban for his two research studies approved by IRB (PI: Dr. Terezakis).
Dr. Terezakis (PI) and Sherif Shaaban (Student Investigator), Characterization of clinical outcomes for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma after radiotherapy. A multi-institutional, retrospective, cohort study, which explores patterns of locoregional relapse after radiotherapy in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma, and identifies clinical and treatment characteristics that may predict locoregional relapse.
Dr. Terezakis (PI) and Sherif Shaaban (Student Investigator), Patterns of Failure and Clinical Outcomes of Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD). This retrospective review examines clinical outcomes, including local control and survival, as well as patterns of failure among patients with Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD) who were treated and/or followed at University of Minnesota. In addition, the study will assess the impact of radiation therapy on the local control and survival of PTLD patients.
