About

Erqi L. Pollom is a leading radiation oncologist whose research centers on the precision and application of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for complex intracranial tumors. Her major contributions lie in expanding the therapeutic boundaries of SRS, particularly for large benign intracranial tumors and through the use of advanced robotic platforms like CyberKnife. Dr. Pollom has demonstrated that even challenging cases—such as large or irregularly shaped tumors—can be safely and effectively treated with high-dose, precisely targeted radiation. Her work is distinguished by its clinical impact, with her most-cited papers accumulating over 25 citations, and by its pioneering scope. Notably, she co-authored a landmark case report on the successful use of frameless SRS to treat recurrent brain metastases in an 18-month-old child, a scenario with very few precedents in the literature. This achievement underscores her commitment to pushing the boundaries of radiosurgery for the most vulnerable patients, establishing her as a key figure in advancing non-invasive, life-saving treatments for both adult and pediatric populations.
