Supriya Chopra, MD, DNB

Supriya Chopra is a Professor in Radiation Oncology at ACTREC, Tata Memorial Centre, India. She is well known for her work in cervical cancer. Her work within the phase III trial PARCER lead to IG-IMRT becoming the standard of care. She is Principal Investigator for Phase III RCT that tested protease inhibitor (Nelfinavir Mesylate) with Image guided IMRT and MR based BT in cervical cancer (NELCER). Presently she has ongoing phase III trials testing radiotherapy fractionation in palliative RT and NRF-2 pathway inhibitors for late adverse event reduction after pelvic RT. Her other contributions include work in MRI and PET image guided brachytherapy in post surgical recurrent cervical cancers and reirradiation. She has successfully lead global research projects with different research groups BIOEMBRACE (translational research in cervix cancer), RETROCOSMOS (recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer). She has also been involved in IAEA image guided brachytherapy implementation projects and needs assessment of 14 countries. She served as lead author on NCG India Cervix cancer guidelines and has spearheaded the conceptual framework for national transition for Image guided Brachytherapy and intensity modulated RT. MOSES late adverse event scoring system which is validated on leading gynecological cancer study databases was developed by her research group. She is focussing on developing framework for TCP, NTCP modelling for postoperative RT and Reirradiation. She has an active clinical program that tests Spatially Fractionated RT and Proton Therapy for Gynecological Cancers. She was Associate Editor for Gyn section of Red Journal (IJROBP). She is presently Associate Editor for Journal of Clinical Oncology-Global Oncology and Gynecological Cancer Section Editor for the Green Journal. She serves as Course director for AROI ESTRO teaching course in Gynecological Cancers and brachytherapy training mentor within IGCS. She serves as Chair of research commitee for Federation of Asian Radiation Oncologists and is Chair Elect (2028-2031) for GEC ESTRO Gyn Working group.
