About

Dr. Maryann Miccio is a radiation oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing treatment protocols for prostate cancer, particularly in medically complex patients. Her most cited work, "Prostate Fiducial Marker Placement in Patients on Anticoagulation: Feasibility Prior to Prostate SBRT" (2020), addresses a critical clinical challenge: whether patients on blood thinners can safely undergo fiducial marker placement—a prerequisite for precise stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). By demonstrating the feasibility of this procedure in anticoagulated patients, Dr. Miccio’s study has provided essential guidance for clinicians managing prostate cancer patients with cardiovascular comorbidities, directly impacting treatment accessibility and safety. With 7 citations, this work has informed subsequent studies on procedural risk mitigation. Dr. Miccio’s contributions bridge oncology and interventional radiology, ensuring that advanced radiotherapy techniques remain viable for a broader patient population. Her research underscores a commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care, making her a valuable voice in the evolving landscape of prostate cancer treatment.
