About

Mustafa Cengiz is a leading figure in radiation oncology, renowned for pioneering the application of robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat complex, often inoperable tumors. His research focuses on expanding the boundaries of precision radiotherapy, particularly for challenging head and neck, skull base, and gynecologic malignancies. Cengiz’s major contributions include demonstrating the efficacy of robotic SBRT for reirradiating locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma—a landmark study with 76 citations—and systematically comparing its dose distribution to intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer (55 citations). He has also advanced treatment for rare tumors, reporting on robotic SRS for unresectable glomus jugulare tumors and fractionated SRS for skull base chordomas. His work on sinonasal mucosal melanoma and recurrent abdominopelvic tumors further underscores his commitment to treating high-risk, difficult-to-manage cases. With over 190 citations across his most influential papers, Cengiz has shaped clinical practice by providing evidence for non-invasive, high-precision alternatives to conventional radiotherapy and surgery. His meticulous dosimetric studies, including gonad dose measurements during SRS, highlight his dedication to balancing tumor control with patient safety.
