About
Fiona Hegi-Johnson is a leading researcher in radiation oncology, whose work is redefining the delivery of cancer treatment through the innovative concept of upright radiotherapy. Her primary research focuses on developing technical frameworks to transition patients from the traditional lying-down position to a seated or upright stance during treatment. Her landmark paper, *“Please Place Your Seat in the Full Upright Position: A Technical Framework for Landing Upright Radiation Therapy in the 21st Century,”* has garnered 13 citations and provides a comprehensive blueprint for delivering modern arc and modulated therapies in this novel orientation. This approach promises to significantly enhance patient comfort, reduce irradiation of healthy tissues, and potentially shrink the physical footprint of treatment machines. By tackling the engineering and clinical requirements for this paradigm shift, Hegi-Johnson is pioneering a more patient-centric and efficient future for radiotherapy, making her a key figure to watch in the evolution of precision oncology.
