The George Washington University President’s Medal, the highest honor the university president can

Dr. Brady is the founder of The CyberKnife Center of Philadelphia and one of the most distinguished
pioneers in the field of radiation oncology. He is recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on
cancer treatment and has published more than 600 papers and led numerous clinical trials. Virtually
every radiation oncologist in the world is familiar with his textbooks and the Encyclopedia of Radiation
Oncology (Brady-Yeager Eds.). He has won over thirty medals for his contribution to the medical field
and has served as president of every major radiation oncology professional society.
“Our partnership with Dr. Brady began with the establishment of The CyberKnife Center of Philadelphia
nearly 10 years ago and everyone at Alliance Oncology is proud to congratulate Dr. Brady on winning
this prestigious award,” said Greg Spurlock, President of Alliance Oncology. “Dr. Brady has dedicated his
life to the field of radiation oncology and many patients and physicians have benefited from his wisdom
and experience. He is very deserving of this award and we feel honored to have him as part of the
Alliance Oncology team.”
Dr. Brady was born in North Carolina and received his undergraduate and medical degrees at George
Washington University. He received post-graduate training in radiology and radiation oncology at the

University of Pennsylvania. He has had appointments at Harvard Medical School, The College of
Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, and has spent the majority of his career in Philadelphia
first at the University of Pennsylvania, and since 1959, at Hahnemann University Hospital.
He is a physician with an extraordinary range of interests and activities, and George Washington
University chose to honor him for his support and contributions to medicine and the fine arts. In spite of
extensive commitments throughout the United States and around the world, he continues to be directly
involved in patient care, the teaching of undergraduate medical students and post-graduate training of
