About

Raffaela Doro is a leading medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and radiosurgery, particularly using robotic platforms like CyberKnife. Her work spans multiple challenging anatomical sites, including spinal, cardiac, breast, and abdominal tumors. Doro’s major contributions include developing and optimizing treatment planning techniques for spinal radiosurgery (35 citations), demonstrating the feasibility and safety of preoperative robotic radiosurgery for early breast cancer through the phase II ROCK trial (29 citations), and pioneering SBRT applications for cardiac malignancies (23 citations). She has also made significant technical contributions to the field by evaluating novel optimization systems for robotic SBRT with multileaf collimators and analyzing plan complexity metrics to improve treatment quality. Her clinical outcomes research on stereotactic body radiotherapy for abdominal lymph node metastases (17 citations) further underscores her impact. With over 130 total citations, Doro’s work bridges the gap between advanced treatment planning technology and clinical application, making her a key figure in the evolution of precision radiotherapy.
