About
Dr. Baldassarre Stea is a radiation oncologist whose research centers on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for neurological conditions, with a particular focus on trigeminal neuralgia and brain metastases. His major contributions include pioneering frameless LINAC-based SRS techniques, demonstrating that non-invasive, image-guided approaches can effectively treat primary and recurrent trigeminal neuralgia while reducing patient discomfort. Stea’s work also critically examines the interplay between immunotherapy and radiosurgery, investigating whether combining these modalities increases the risk of radiation necrosis in brain metastasis patients—a question of growing importance in modern oncology. Although his most-cited papers have accumulated modest citation counts (4, 3, and 2 citations respectively), they represent foundational clinical insights in a specialized field. Notably, his 2014 study on frameless LINAC SRS for trigeminal neuralgia and his 2018 investigation into re-irradiation strategies highlight his commitment to refining treatment protocols for challenging, recurrent cases. Stea’s research bridges technical innovation and patient safety, offering practical guidance for clinicians navigating the complexities of radiosurgery in both primary and salvage settings.
