About
D. Scandurra is a researcher in the field of medical physics, with a specific focus on intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for head and neck cancers. Their key contribution lies in developing and evaluating methods to ensure the robustness of treatment plans against uncertainties, such as patient setup errors and anatomical changes. In their notable 2019 work, "Robustness Evaluation Using Dose Accumulation in Head and Neck IMPT," Scandurra introduced a novel approach that accumulates delivered doses over a treatment course to more accurately assess plan robustness. This work, cited 4 times, provides a critical framework for improving the reliability of proton therapy, directly impacting clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. By bridging the gap between theoretical plan optimization and real-world treatment delivery, Scandurra’s research advances the safety and precision of cancer radiotherapy, offering valuable insights for both physicists and clinicians striving to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
