About

Livia Bianchi is a pioneering figure in the field of stereotactic radiotherapy, with a career defined by the innovative application of image-guided robotic radiosurgery. Her primary research focuses on the treatment of recurrent prostate cancer and trigeminal neuralgia, where she has made transformative contributions. Bianchi’s landmark 2011 study on robotic image-guided stereotactic radiotherapy for isolated recurrent prostate cancer, cited over 230 times, established a new paradigm for managing lymph node and metastatic recurrences, demonstrating both feasibility and safety. She further advanced this work with earlier foundational studies on linac-based and robotic approaches for nodal recurrences, and a critical feasibility study on salvage therapy for locally recurrent prostate cancer after external beam irradiation. Beyond oncology, Bianchi has significantly impacted the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, leading the largest single-center experience with CyberKnife radiosurgery, as detailed in her highly cited 2017 and 2019 papers, which together have garnered over 70 citations. Her research also extends to the delicate management of optic nerve sheath meningiomas through staged radiosurgery, showcasing her commitment to minimizing treatment risks. With a career spanning over a decade, Bianchi’s work has not only advanced clinical protocols but also provided hope for patients with complex, recurrent conditions, solidifying her reputation as a leader in image-guided radiosurgery.
