About Dr. Kapadia:
Dr. Russo self-identifies as a clinical radiation oncologist and “radiosurgeon”. His clinical practice focuses on treating thoracic, and primary and secondary central nervous system malignancies, and using radiosurgical techniques to treat various tumors requiring high-precision radiation therapy. He has worked with almost every commercially available radiosurgery platform and uses that breadth of experience when considering treatments for his patients. By training, Dr. Russo is a chemical engineer and brings the engineering mindset to his practice for a better understanding of the tradeoffs of the responsible integration of new technology into clinical practice. Research interests are focused improving care with outcomes research, and supporting clinical trial accrual to advance current treatment standards. Outside of clinical practice, Dr. Russo enjoys making sculptural objects and furniture with concrete, wood and steel, runs long- and ultralong- distances on forest and mountain trails, and uses large format film photography to capture images of the beauty and absurdity of modern life.
