Lynn D. Wilson, MD, MPH, FASTRO
Dr. Lynn D. Wilson is a board-certified radiation oncologist at the Yale School of Medicine and Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven. He strongly believes that successful treatment of patients diagnosed with lung cancer, mesothelioma, breast cancer, and other malignancies and diseases can be “best achieved through multidisciplinary collaboration among specialists focused on the patient.”
Dr. Wilson leverages modern radiation therapy technology and specialized techniques to provide palliative care and therapeutic outcomes for patients struggling with challenging malignancies.[1]
Research
