About
Dr. Alberto Iannalfi is a leading figure in hadrontherapy, specializing in the clinical application of scanned proton and carbon ion beams for cancer treatment. His major contributions center on pioneering the safe and effective implementation of advanced particle therapy at the Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO). His highly cited 2013 paper, "Initial clinical experience with scanned proton beams at CNAO," reports the first toxicity data from patients treated with scanned protons under prospective Phase II protocols, establishing foundational safety and feasibility benchmarks for this technology. This work, along with his broader research on chordomas, chondrosarcomas, and skull base tumors, has helped define treatment protocols for rare, radioresistant malignancies. With over 18 citations on this seminal paper alone, Dr. Iannalfi’s contributions have been instrumental in demonstrating the clinical viability of scanned particle beams, influencing practice at hadrontherapy centers worldwide. His ongoing work continues to refine dose delivery and expand the therapeutic index for patients with complex tumors, solidifying his reputation as a key architect of modern particle therapy.
