Ian E. McCutcheon

Ian E. McCutcheon is a Professor (with Tenure) of Neurosurgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research focuses on neuro-oncology, specifically the surgical management of brain and spinal cord metastases, including the craniocervical junction, and the optimization of multimodal therapies such as stereotactic radiosurgery combined with immunotherapy. Recent work includes pioneering dual phagocytosis-checkpoint blockade for glioblastoma, published in *Nature Communications*, and defining surgical outcomes for rolandic metastasis resection and spinal cord ependymoma. His investigations integrate surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and pathology to advance treatment paradigms for metastatic disease.
