About
Dr. Ayman Salhab is a pioneering radiation oncologist whose work centers on advancing proton therapy for complex malignancies, particularly in the head, neck, and brain. His most notable contribution is leading the first prospective clinical trial of upright image-guided proton therapy for locally recurrent head and neck and brain cancers—a landmark study that has already garnered 3 citations since its 2025 publication. This work addresses a critical gap by demonstrating the feasibility and safety of treating patients in an upright position using a fixed beamline and robotic positioning, leveraging the advent of vertical CT systems to make gantry-less proton therapy a viable option. Dr. Salhab’s research directly tackles the challenge of re-irradiation in previously treated areas, offering new hope for patients with limited options. His innovative approach not only enhances treatment accessibility and precision but also reduces the physical footprint and cost of proton therapy facilities. By translating cutting-edge technology into clinical practice, Dr. Salhab is shaping the future of radiation oncology, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of medical physics, engineering, and patient-centered care.
