About
Marc Levivier is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for intracranial lesions, particularly brain tumors and vascular malformations. His major contributions include advancing the clinical application of Gamma Knife radiosurgery, establishing it as the gold standard for treating conditions like vestibular schwannomas. Levivier has significantly shaped modern SRS practice by refining treatment concepts, analyzing volumetric tumor responses, and improving functional outcomes for patients. His highly cited 2016 study on sympathetic activity and early mobilization in severe brain injury patients (52 citations) demonstrates a broader commitment to neurocritical care, challenging traditional prolonged bed rest protocols to prevent secondary brain damage. With additional influential publications comparing Gamma Knife, CyberKnife, and TomoTherapy technologies (34 citations), Levivier has provided critical guidance on equipment selection and treatment optimization. His work on cystic vestibular schwannomas has clarified which tumor subtypes respond best to radiosurgery, directly impacting clinical decision-making. Through these contributions, Levivier has amassed substantial citation impact, establishing himself as a key authority in stereotactic radiosurgery and neurocritical care, bridging technical innovation with patient-centered outcomes.
