About

Chia-Lin Tseng is a leading researcher in the field of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), with a particular focus on spine SBRT and the safe application of high-precision radiation techniques. Her work bridges the critical gap between intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and extracranial SBRT, helping to translate principles of tumoricidal dose delivery and normal tissue sparing to spinal treatments. Tseng’s most cited paper, “Emerging technologies in stereotactic body radiotherapy” (2017, 52 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of technological advances driving the field forward. In a highly impactful contribution, she developed a mathematical formula correlating small-volume spinal cord doses to larger volume constraints in spine SBRT (2018), offering clinicians a practical tool to guide safe practice. This work addresses one of the most critical challenges in spinal radiosurgery: minimizing the risk of radiation myelopathy while maintaining effective tumor control. Tseng’s research is essential reading for medical physicists, radiation oncologists, and dosimetrists seeking to understand dose-volume relationships in stereotactic treatments.
