Mark Sobczak Named a 2019 Fellow of the American College of Radiology

PHILADELPHIA (June 19, 2019)— Mark Sobczak, MD, FACR, clinical director in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Fox Chase Cancer Center, was selected as a 2019 Fellow of the American College of Radiology (ACR).

The ACR Fellowship is a highly selective honor that recognizes a history of service to the ACR, radiation oncology, teaching, and research. Sobczak is one of only eight radiation oncologists in the United States to receive this recognition this year. Fewer than ten percent of radiation oncologists and radiologists have been selected as ACR Fellows since the award was first given in 1924.

Sobczak is recognized for his expertise in treating kidney, bladder, prostate, testicular, ureteral, and urethral cancers. His clinical practice includes intensity modulated radiation therapy, image guided therapy, brachytherapy, and other forms of radiotherapy. Among other professional honors, he has been recognized as a Philadelphia magazine Top Doctor for 2017, 2018, and 2019, and a 2018 Main Line Health Top Doc.

The new class of ACR Fellows was honored in Washington, DC, at a ceremony on May 19, 2019.
