About

F. Schneider is a leading researcher in ocular oncology, with a primary focus on the application of stereotactic radiosurgery for choroidal melanoma. Her work centers on evaluating the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted CyberKnife technology as an alternative to traditional plaque brachytherapy, particularly for small and posteriorly located tumors. Schneider’s major contributions include identifying key risk factors for local tumor recurrence following radiosurgery, a critical finding given that recurrence is strongly linked to decreased overall survival due to metastatic spread. Her most cited paper (2022, 11 citations) analyzes tumor planning and treatment parameters to predict recurrence, providing clinicians with actionable data to improve patient outcomes. A second highly cited study (2022, 7 citations) specifically examines outcomes for small choroidal melanomas, offering rare and valuable evidence on the effectiveness of CyberKnife in this patient subset. By systematically documenting both treatment success and side effects, Schneider’s research helps refine patient selection and treatment protocols, advancing the role of non-invasive radiosurgery in ocular oncology.
