About

Carmen Rifatto is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on the application of stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of brain metastases, with a particular emphasis on prognostic factors and patient outcomes. In her most cited study, a single-center retrospective analysis of 223 patients treated with stereotactic image-guided robotic radiosurgery, Rifatto identified key variables—such as tumor volume, number of lesions, and performance status—that significantly influence survival and local control. This work provides clinicians with a robust framework for patient selection and treatment planning, helping to optimize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing unnecessary interventions. With 14 citations, the paper has become a valuable reference for oncologists and radiation specialists seeking evidence-based guidelines in neuro-oncology. Rifatto’s contributions underscore the importance of personalized, data-driven approaches in radiosurgery, advancing the field’s understanding of how to tailor aggressive treatments to individual patient profiles. Her research continues to inform clinical practice, bridging the gap between technical innovation and real-world patient care.
