Barry Kacinski,
M.D., from Yale University School of Medicine, passed away in November
at the age of 50.
Kacisnski was a member of
the Mycosis Fungoides Foundation Medical Advisory Board. His experience
with radiation
in treating CTCL was valuable in his review of
information on radiation therapy for the MFF website.
Although Kacinski shared
his talents at a number of institutions, he most recently treated
patients and taught at Yale since 1983 in the departments of therapeutic
radiology, dermatology and obstetrics and gynecology.
According to Yale University
School of Medicine, "His research centered
on improving the understanding and treatment of cancer. His studies were
funded by highly competitive research grants, including the American
Cancer Society,
the National Cancer Institute, the Donaghue Medical Research Foundation,
and the Leukemia Society."
