Steven J. Chmura MD, PhD is the director of Clinical and Translational Research for Radiation Oncology at the University of Chicago for over a decade. He has been actively involved in both the clinical implementation of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and related translational and clinical research, as well as the integration of SRS and SBRT into other systemic therapies. His clinical interests include breast cancer, limited metastatic disease, immunotherapy, and technologic improvements in the delivery of radiotherapy. Dr. Chmura is a leader in the NCI cooperative groups. His work has led to the first international oligmetastatic trials through NRG Oncology examining the safety of treating lung and breast cancer patients as a Phase II/III trial examining potential improvements to progression-free survival and overall survival. Dr. Chmura's work in radio-immunology has also translated into multiple investigator-sponsored trials along with the now accruing NCI-sponsored (A091605) trial randomizing the role of SBRT combined with pembrolizumab in advanced Merkel cell carcinoma; such integration of ablative radiotherapy and immunotherapy along with advancing the search for biomarkers is currently Dr. Chmura's focus.
