About
Anne K. Maxwell is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the application of advanced stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for complex skull base tumors, with a particular focus on preserving critical cranial nerve function. Her most significant contribution is the first description of hypofractionated robotic SRS as a novel treatment strategy for vagal paragangliomas—rare, highly vascular tumors that often extend extracranially and pose substantial surgical risk. In her landmark 2020 retrospective study, Maxwell demonstrated that this approach achieves excellent tumor control while dramatically reducing the risk of cranial nerve damage, challenging the traditional surgical paradigm. Though a relatively recent publication, her work has already garnered 5 citations, signaling its growing influence in the field of radiosurgery and neuro-oncology. By offering a safer, non-invasive alternative for patients with these challenging lesions, Maxwell has opened new avenues for treatment and sparked further investigation into hypofractionated regimens. Her research stands as a testament to the power of precision radiation in improving patient outcomes and preserving quality of life.
