About
Josephine Chen is a leading medical physicist whose research focuses on advancing stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung and prostate cancers, with a particular emphasis on improving treatment accuracy and reducing normal tissue toxicity. Her work addresses critical challenges in radiation oncology, including tumor motion management and interfraction anatomical variability. Chen's most cited study (30 citations) compares target margins derived from 4DCT scans with real-time tumor motion tracking in lung cancer patients treated with robotic radiosurgery, providing essential insights for optimizing treatment delivery when dynamic tracking is unavailable. Another highly influential paper (30 citations) demonstrates how interfraction anatomical changes can significantly increase rectal dose during prostate SBRT, highlighting the need for adaptive planning strategies. Her analysis of dose distribution and pneumonitis risk in centrally located lung tumors (18 citations) compares three SBRT modalities, offering guidance for minimizing complications in challenging cases. Through these contributions, Chen has helped establish safer, more precise radiation protocols that directly impact clinical practice, making her a respected voice in the field of stereotactic radiation therapy.
