Dr. Stephen Lutz is a physician at the Armes Cancer Center in Findlay, Ohio, who is board certified in Radiation Oncology as well as Hospice and Palliative Medicine. In October of 2014, Dr. Lutz and Professor Edward Chow began co-authoring a regular column entitled “Palliative Radiotherapy” for Annals of Palliative Medicine (APM). Owing to his contributions to the field, the editor of APM seized the opportunity to interview Dr. Lutz after the 2014 meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) which was held in San Francisco, California.
