About
Dr. Jacobo Palma is a pioneering surgical oncologist whose work bridges the frontiers of radiation oncology and minimally invasive surgery. His primary research focuses on the clinical integration of intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) with advanced surgical techniques, particularly in the emerging field of electron-FLASH radiotherapy. Palma’s most notable contribution is the demonstration of the clinical feasibility of combining IOERT with minimally invasive surgery, a breakthrough that promises to enhance the precision and efficacy of local cancer therapy while potentially reducing treatment times and side effects. His 2022 study on this topic has garnered early interest, with 5 citations, signaling its growing influence in the field. By exploring the synergy between real-time surgical exploration and single-dose high-energy electron irradiation, Palma is helping to pave the way for next-generation cancer treatments that are both less invasive and more biologically effective. His work is particularly significant for patients with locally advanced or recurrent tumors, where conventional approaches may be limited. As a researcher at the forefront of translating FLASH radiotherapy principles into clinical practice, Palma’s contributions are shaping the future of intraoperative cancer care.
