Benjamin Smith is a High Senior Professor at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research focuses on breast oncology, radiation biology, and cancer care, with particular emphasis on radiation therapy, breast cancer treatment de-escalation, and the genomic and immune effects of radiotherapy. His recent publications include studies on selective elimination of breast surgery for invasive breast cancer (JAMA Oncology, 2025), the impact of breast radiotherapy on the tumor genome and immune ecosystem (Cell Reports, 2025), and cardiovascular disease risk in breast cancer patients (JAMA Network Open, 2025). He also investigates microsurgical breast reconstruction outcomes and nanomechanical properties of skin tissue in postmastectomy implant reconstruction. His work bridges clinical oncology and translational radiation biology, informing treatment strategies for early-stage breast cancer and acute myeloid leukaemia.
