Alanah Bergman
Dr. Bergman, FCCPM is a senior medical physicist at BC Cancer. She provides physics leadership for local SABR initiatives which includes clinical trial design/implementation and advanced motion management strategies. She has an immense interest in reirradiation scenarios, particularly related to the challenge of incorporating consistent and safe workflows. She is currently working with national and international organizations to gather data and provide clear, consistent guidance on reirradiation management.
Andrea Bezjak
Thoracic Radiation oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Toronto
Greg Fox
Greg Fox graduated from Dawson College and began working at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Center in 2001. He has over 20 years of experience in Treatment Planning across all disease sites, specializing in CNS, Lung and Genitourinary cancers. SBRT planning has been his main focus the last 5 years with the increased use of SBRT for spine, bone and nodal metastasis. He is the lead planner for ablative radiotherapy for ventricular arrythmias and also plans many of the complex lung re irradiation cases. Re-irradiation is an area of interest for him, and he is a member of the Thoracic Re-Irradiation Working Group for Ontario Health.
Brian Liszewski
Brian Liszewski is a radiation therapist and Advisor for Radiation Therapy and Infrastructure Planning at Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) whose career has been defined by a passion for quality, safety, and data-driven innovation in radiation oncology. Over nearly twenty years, he has advanced provincial and pan-Canadian initiatives through the Canadian Partnership for Quality Radiotherapy (CPQR), contributing to the development of the National System for Incident Reporting in Radiation Treatment (NSIR-RT) as well as pan-Canadian and international quality assurance guidelines and patient engagement frameworks.
As Co-founder of the Canadian Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Radiotherapy Alliance (CADRA), Brian is helping to shape Canada’s AI-enabled future in oncology through projects focused on data harmonization, nomenclature standards, and responsible AI integration. He continues to bridge clinical insight with system-level strategy to drive safer, smarter, and more connected care across the country.
Grounded in quality and guided by innovation, Brian’s ongoing work connects clinical practice with data science to drive continuous improvement in radiation therapy safety, performance, and person-centered care.
