About Charles Leonard, MD
Dr. Leonard is a board-certified radiation oncologist who has been practicing at Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers for over 25 years. He treats a wide variety of cancers, with a special interest in breast cancers and prostate cancer. His areas of expertise include targeted radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image guided radiotherapy (IGRT), 3-D conformal radiation therapy, and accelerated partial breast irradiation (ABPI).
Dr. Leonard treats each patient the way he would want to be treated himself. He learns about each patient’s unique situation, listens to their needs, explores all options, and strives to do the right thing for them, physically, emotionally, and socially.
Dr. Leonard participates in many tumor boards, where he collaborates with other cancer specialists including surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and medical oncologists. This allows him to provide a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to his cancer treatment recommendations. Along with his radiation oncology partners, Dr. Leonard was instrumental in the development of accelerated partial breast irradiation, maintaining one of the largest databases in the world for intensity modulated accelerated partial breast irradiation, in which small breast tumors can be treated over just one week.
Dr. Leonard has served as principal investigator for many clinical trial studies and emphasizes the importance of participating in clinical research trials when appropriate to ensure his patients are receiving the most up-to-date, cutting edge treatment for their disease.
