Dr. Noushin Izadifar Hart is a Board Certified Radiation Oncologist with special interest in breast and gynecological cancers as well as clinical cancer genetics. Dr. Hart completed her medical school in 1986 in Iran. As a general practitioner, she practiced medicine for several years before starting her residency in radiation oncology. She moved to United States in January of 1994 and completed a year of internship at Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia before starting her residency in radiation oncology at one of the foremost centers at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis.
