Mack Roach III, MD, UCSF professor of radiation oncology and urology, has been named chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology.

“Dr. Roach is recognized as one of America’s leading authorities on the use of radiation to treat localized prostate cancer and as a prominent crusader against health care disparities,” says David Kessler, MD, dean of the UCSF School of Medicine and vice chancellor for medical affairs.

Roach has served the department as director of clinical research since 2001, as vice chair since 2003 and as interim chair since January 2006.
