About
Huailing Zhang is a leading researcher in the field of radiation oncology, with a specialized focus on precision radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer. Her work centers on the critical challenge of managing intrafractional organ motion, particularly for tumors in the pancreas, which are highly susceptible to movement during treatment. In her most cited study, "Determination of Acquisition Frequency for Intrafractional Motion of Pancreas in CyberKnife Radiotherapy," Zhang analyzed data from 29 pancreatic cancer patients treated with the CyberKnife system, using implanted fiducials to track real-time tumor motion. This research provided essential insights into the optimal imaging frequency needed to accurately compensate for pancreatic drift and respiratory-induced movement, directly improving the accuracy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). By establishing evidence-based guidelines for motion management, Zhang’s work has helped reduce treatment margins and minimize radiation exposure to healthy tissues, enhancing both safety and efficacy. Her contributions are foundational for clinicians seeking to deliver high-dose, conformal radiation to moving targets, and her findings continue to inform protocols in advanced radiotherapy centers worldwide.
