About
J. D. Feldman is a pioneering radiation oncologist whose research focuses on advancing proton therapy for complex malignancies, particularly in the head, neck, and brain. Their most notable contribution is the first prospective clinical trial of upright image-guided proton therapy for locally recurrent head and neck and brain cancers, published in 2025. This groundbreaking work demonstrated the feasibility and safety of treating patients in an upright position using a fixed beamline and robotic positioning—a paradigm shift enabled by newly available vertical CT systems. By proving that gantry-less proton therapy can deliver precise, effective treatment while potentially reducing costs and facility footprints, Feldman has opened the door to more accessible proton therapy worldwide. Though early in its citation history (3 citations), this study has already generated significant discussion in the radiation oncology community for its innovative approach to an otherwise challenging patient population. Feldman’s work bridges engineering and clinical oncology, offering new hope for patients with limited treatment options while reshaping how we think about particle therapy delivery.
