About

Dr. Nicolas Stacoffe is a pioneering interventional radiologist whose research sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted procedures and minimally invasive oncologic interventions. His work focuses on enhancing the precision and safety of percutaneous needle-based therapies, particularly in challenging anatomical sites. Dr. Stacoffe’s most significant contribution is the development and validation of robotic-assisted irreversible electroporation (IRE) for hepatocellular carcinoma, a technique that combines real-time imaging guidance with robotic accuracy to ablate liver tumors while sparing critical structures—a breakthrough that has already garnered 15 citations since its 2023 publication. He has further advanced the field by demonstrating the in vivo safety and feasibility of CT-guided robotic needle placement in bone, opening new avenues for treating osseous malignancies with unprecedented precision. His 2025 study on this topic, with 5 citations, underscores the growing clinical interest in robotic systems for complex skeletal interventions. Dr. Stacoffe’s work is notable for bridging the gap between engineering innovation and bedside application, offering tangible improvements in procedural outcomes and patient safety. His research continues to shape the future of image-guided therapy, making him a key figure in the evolution of interventional oncology.
