Background
Dr. Mylin Torres is a board certified radiation oncologist who specializes in the treatment of breast cancer. She is currently the Co-Leader of the Cancer Prevention Control Research Program at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. Her research program is dedicated to understanding the biology underlying treatment-related side effects, including chronic inflammation, radiation-induced skin changes, and cancer-related fatigue, and to developing interventions which will improve the life quality of breast cancer survivors. She is also examining ways that radiation can be used to help women with metastatic disease.
Dr. Torres has written and co-authored a number of publications and abstracts. She has received highly competitive grants from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), Winship Cancer Institute, and Susan G. Komen to support her research on the detection and treatment of breast cancer therapy-induced toxicities.
For her outstanding care of patients, Dr. Torres was awarded the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Healthcare Heroes Rising Star, the Winship Cancer Institute Above and Beyond Award, and The Winship Annual Mentorship Award. Atlanta Magazine also named her as one of the “Women Making a Mark” in the Atlanta community. She currently serves on the Advisory Committee on Breast Cancer in Young Women of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Dr. Torres graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a bachelor’s degree in biology. She then went on to receive her medical degree from Stanford University before completing her training in radiation oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Torres is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University School of Medicine.
