Thomas Hayman, MD, PhD

Thomas Hayman, MD, PhD, is a therapeutic radiologist who specializes in treating cancers of the lung, head and neck, skin, and more. He employs advanced radiation techniques, including stereotactic radiosurgery and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (which uses precise computer planning to target tumors), to manage various malignancies such as those in the central nervous system, prostate, and gastrointestinal tract.

As an assistant professor of therapeutic radiology at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Hayman studies how cancer cells resist damage from radiation. He aims to discover better ways to overcome these defenses, ultimately translating new findings into clinical practice.

Dr. Hayman received his medical degree and doctoral degree from the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. He completed a residency in radiation oncology at Yale New Haven Hospital.
