About

Dr. Marc Wygoda is a pioneering researcher in the field of proton therapy, with a focused expertise in upright patient positioning for the treatment of head and neck and brain malignancies. His work addresses a critical challenge in radiation oncology: improving treatment accuracy and accessibility through innovative delivery methods. Dr. Wygoda’s major contributions center on the clinical validation of image-guided proton therapy (IGPT) in the upright position, a technique that leverages vertical CT systems and robotic positioning to eliminate the need for costly rotating gantries. His 2024 study on reproducibility in head and neck cancers (10 citations) established foundational evidence for the precision of this approach, while his 2025 prospective clinical trial (3 citations) demonstrated its feasibility and safety for treating locally recurrent tumors. These studies represent a paradigm shift toward more affordable and space-efficient proton therapy. Dr. Wygoda’s work is notable for its direct impact on clinical practice, offering new hope for patients with complex, recurrent cancers. With a growing citation footprint, his research is shaping the future of gantry-less proton therapy, making advanced treatments more accessible worldwide.
