About
Dr. Marcello Marchetti is a leading authority in stereotactic radiosurgery, with a primary focus on the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and other functional brain disorders. His seminal 2009 paper, “CyberKnife Radiosurgery as a First Treatment for Idiopathic Trigeminal Neuralgia,” has garnered 69 citations and established a landmark protocol for using frameless, robotic radiosurgery as a first-line intervention for pharmacologically refractory cases. By demonstrating high efficacy and an excellent safety profile in a cohort of 33 patients, Marchetti helped shift clinical practice toward non-invasive, outpatient management of this debilitating pain condition. His work is distinguished by rigorous outcome analysis and a commitment to refining dose delivery and target accuracy. Beyond trigeminal neuralgia, his research portfolio encompasses the broader application of CyberKnife technology to intracranial and spinal pathologies, contributing to the evolution of precision radiotherapy. Marchetti’s contributions have not only advanced clinical guidelines but also inspired a generation of neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists to explore radiosurgery as a primary therapeutic modality, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in functional radiosurgery.
