About
Gunnar Surber is a leading figure in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), with a career focused on refining treatment techniques for complex cranial and pulmonary tumors. His major contributions include advancing the use of LINAC-based SRS for trigeminal neuralgia, where his two-institutional retrospective study (30 citations) demonstrated the efficacy and safety of this non-invasive approach for refractory pain patients, providing critical benchmarks for clinical practice. In pulmonary SBRT, Surber tackled the challenge of inter-institutional variability by proposing dose prescription to the mean internal target volume dose (11 citations), a methodological innovation that enhances consistency across different technologies and centers. This work directly improves the reproducibility and reliability of lung cancer treatments. Surber’s research bridges technical precision and clinical outcomes, earning him recognition as a key contributor to modern radiation oncology. His studies are essential reading for researchers and clinicians seeking to standardize high-precision radiotherapy and expand its applications to challenging patient populations.
