About
Tadayuki Kotsuma is a leading radiation oncologist whose research focuses on the reirradiation of recurrent head and neck cancers, a particularly challenging clinical scenario. His major contribution lies in pioneering and comparing advanced salvage radiotherapy techniques for patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. In a landmark 2016 multi-institutional study (47 citations), Dr. Kotsuma examined the prognosis of 107 patients reirradiated with robotic image-guided stereotactic radiotherapy (CyberKnife), specifically investigating the critical risk of mucosal ulceration. He further advanced the field by conducting a matched-cohort analysis comparing outcomes between charged particle radiotherapy and CyberKnife, providing crucial comparative effectiveness data. His work has been instrumental in defining the safety and efficacy profiles of these high-precision modalities, offering renewed hope for patients with limited alternatives. Dr. Kotsuma’s research is distinguished by its rigorous, multi-institutional methodology and its direct impact on clinical decision-making for recurrent head and neck cancer, establishing him as a key authority in stereotactic reirradiation.
