About

Berrin Pehlivan is a leading radiation oncologist whose research focuses on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases—a critical area given that these tumors affect up to 40% of adult solid tumor patients. Her most-cited work, "Radiosurgery Techniques for Brain Metastases" (2020), provides a comprehensive analysis of SRS delivery methods, optimizing dose fractionation and target delineation to improve local control while minimizing neurotoxicity. This contribution has shaped clinical protocols for managing intracranial disease, directly addressing a major cause of cancer-related morbidity. With over 2 citations, her study underscores the growing importance of precision radiotherapy in neuro-oncology. Beyond this, Pehlivan has advanced the field by integrating advanced imaging and planning techniques to enhance treatment accuracy, reducing risks to healthy brain tissue. Her work is particularly impactful for researchers and clinicians seeking evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes in patients with complex metastatic disease, solidifying her reputation as a key contributor to modern radiosurgery practice.
