About
Cristina Garibaldi is a leading figure in radiation oncology, whose work has fundamentally advanced the precision and personalization of cancer treatment. Her research centers on intraoperative radiotherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and advanced image-guided techniques. Garibaldi is best known for her pioneering work on the ELIOT technique, demonstrating that intraoperative radiation with electrons can effectively treat early-stage breast cancer by targeting only the tumor bed, a paradigm-shifting concept supported by her highly cited 2003 paper (136 citations). She has also made critical contributions to managing recurrent prostate cancer, showing the efficacy of linac-based and robotic stereotactic radiotherapy for isolated lymph node recurrences (71 citations). Her influence extends to shaping clinical practice through landmark surveys like POP-ART RT (59 citations), which mapped the global adoption of real-time respiratory motion management and adaptive radiotherapy. By meticulously quantifying translational and rotational localization errors in lung SBRT and investigating intra-fraction setup variability with optical and X-ray imaging, Garibaldi has provided the foundational data needed to enhance treatment accuracy. Her work directly improves patient outcomes by enabling safer, more effective, and less invasive radiation therapy.
