Jonathan Leventhal, MD, is the director of the Onco-Dermatology Program at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven. He treats patients undergoing cancer treatment who experience itchy or painful rashes, as well as hair and nail changes that can result from either their disease or treatment, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation or stem cell transplantation.
鈥淥ne of the most rewarding aspects of my job is improving the quality of life for patients with cancer who are affected by adverse skin events,鈥� he says.
Seeing an onco-dermatologist like Dr. Leventhal can make the difference between a patient being able to continue receiving a cancer treatment or having to be taken off it when the skin conditions become too severe. 鈥淚f left untreated, some skin, hair and nail conditions can become quite debilitating, even disfiguring and may negatively impact health and ability to perform day-to-day activities,鈥� says Dr. Leventhal. He helps to manage these skin problems so that patients with cancer can continue their treatments and enjoy a better quality of life.
In addition to his role at Smilow, Dr. Leventhal, an associate professor of dermatology and associate director of the residency program at Yale School of Medicine, cares for patients with a wide range of skin conditions in Yale Medicine Dermatology鈥檚 New Haven and Branford locations. He performs routine skin cancer screening examinations and also treats general skin problems鈥攆rom acne to psoriasis to eczema. He is also the Associate Residency Program Director and is Principal Investigator of several clinical trials involving the management of cutaneous reactions to cancer therapy.
"Every day I am excited to come to work, treating various skin conditions affecting my patients and helping patients with cancer continue their potentially life-saving treatments,鈥� says Dr. Leventhal. 鈥淪kin diseases can impact the way people see themselves and can affect how people feel, both physically and emotionally. My work is particularly gratifying when I can improve my patients' overall comfort, happiness and health.鈥�

Pinunta Nittayacharn received her B.Eng and M.Eng in Biomedical Engineering from Mahidol University, in Salaya, Thailand, in 2011 and 2014 with research distinction in biopolymer and local drug delivery systems for cancer treatment. After graduation, Pinunta held a position as a full time researcher and lecturer at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Mahidol University, for two years. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH and is supported by a scholarship from the Royal Thai Government. She joined Professor Agata Exner鈥檚 lab in the Fall of 2016 as a Ph.D. student and is currently a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate. She has started to focus on her new research interests about developing drug-loaded nano-scale ultrasound contrast agents (nanobubbles) for image-guided and drug delivery in cancer treatment. Enhancements in drug accumulation and penetration will allow for greater therapeutic efficiency of cancers. In particular, she works on improving the drug loading capacity of nanobubbles. This approach has great potential for maximizing the treatment directly at the tumor site while minimizing systemic side effects.
