Research Interest

Dr. Strom specializes in all disease sites, and has published articles on head & neck, skin, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary cancers in several peer-reviewed journals. His research has been presented nationally at American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, American Radium Society and American Society of Clinical Oncology meetings.

Other Information

When not treating patients or editing medical publications, Dr. Strom spends his time with his wife and two daughters. He and his family enjoy camping, riding bikes, exploring Texas, and cheering at the girls’ soccer matches and swim meets.
