About
Carmine Iermano is a leading figure in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), specializing in the precise, high-dose treatment of challenging metastatic and cardiac malignancies. His work has been instrumental in expanding the boundaries of radiation oncology, demonstrating that SBRT can be safely and effectively applied to traditionally high-risk anatomical sites. His most cited study, "Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy with Cyberknife for Cardiac Malignancies" (2015, 23 citations), addresses the critical challenge of treating primary and secondary heart tumors, showing that focused radiation can overcome prior radiobiological limitations. Iermano further advanced the field with his investigation into SBRT for abdominal lymph node metastases (2013, 17 citations), where he reported promising clinical outcomes for patients with oligometastatic disease from various primary cancers. By leveraging both linear accelerator and robotic CyberKnife platforms, his research provides essential evidence for using SBRT to achieve durable local control with minimal toxicity. Iermano’s contributions are vital for oncologists and radiation therapists seeking to offer curative-intent, non-invasive treatment options for patients with complex, localized tumors.
