About
Dr. C. Shun Wong is a leading radiation oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the precision and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), particularly for spinal tumors. His work is centered on improving image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and understanding tumor motion to minimize treatment margins and toxicity. His landmark 2012 study, cited over 150 times, provided a critical analysis of intrafraction motion during spine SBRT using cone-beam CT and a robotic couch, accounting for all six degrees of freedom. This work established a rigorous framework for quantifying and correcting for patient movement, directly enhancing the accuracy of dose delivery and reducing the risk of spinal cord injury. Dr. Wong’s contributions have been instrumental in translating SBRT from a promising technique into a standard-of-care option for oligometastatic and primary spine disease. His research continues to shape clinical protocols and technological innovations in radiation oncology, making him a pivotal figure in the safe and effective application of high-precision radiotherapy.
