About
Danita Kannarunimit is a radiation oncologist whose research focuses on improving the precision and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung cancer. Her work addresses critical challenges in treating both peripheral and centrally located lung tumors, particularly in the context of tumor motion management and normal tissue toxicity. In her highly cited 2015 study (30 citations), she compared target margins derived from 4DCT scans with real-time tumor motion tracking using the CyberKnife system, providing essential insights for optimizing static tracking approaches when dynamic tracking is not feasible. Her 2013 study (18 citations) analyzed dose distribution and pneumonitis risk in SBRT for centrally located lung tumors, comparing different treatment modalities to reduce complications. Kannarunimit's contributions have helped refine clinical protocols for lung SBRT, balancing effective tumor control with minimized radiation-induced toxicity. Her work remains influential for radiation oncologists and medical physicists seeking to improve treatment outcomes for lung cancer patients.
