About

Juman Tutunji is a neurosurgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of surgical oncology and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), particularly for intracranial tumors. Her most cited paper, "Stereotactic radiosurgery for treating meningiomas eligible for complete resection" (2021, 20 citations), addresses a critical clinical dilemma: whether SRS can serve as a viable alternative for patients with meningiomas that are technically resectable but who cannot undergo surgery due to medical comorbidities or personal preference. This work challenges conventional treatment paradigms by evaluating outcomes for a patient group typically excluded from radiosurgery studies. Beyond this, Tutunji’s research contributes to refining patient selection criteria and optimizing non-invasive treatment strategies, helping to expand the role of SRS in neurosurgical practice. Her findings have informed clinical decision-making for meningioma management, particularly in balancing surgical risks with radiosurgical efficacy. With a growing citation impact, Tutunji’s work is increasingly recognized for bridging the gap between surgical and radiation oncology, offering evidence-based guidance for individualized patient care. Her research continues to shape how neurosurgeons approach tumors that straddle the line between operable and inoperable.
