About

Dr. Patrick A. Kupelian is a leading authority in the field of radiation oncology, with a primary focus on the treatment of prostate cancer. His research is distinguished by a dual commitment to both clinical precision and healthcare economics. Dr. Kupelian’s major contributions include pioneering work on the feasibility of prostate robotic radiation therapy using conventional C-arm linear accelerators, a technique that expands access to advanced, high-precision treatments. He has also made critical contributions to the understanding of prostate margins for real-time monitoring and correction strategies, which are essential for minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. His most impactful work, a 2015 study with 144 citations, applies time-driven activity-based costing to analyze the short- and long-term costs of treating localized, low-risk prostate cancer. This landmark paper provides a transparent, data-driven framework for comparing the economic value of competing treatment modalities, directly informing clinical decision-making and healthcare policy. Through this blend of technical innovation and cost-conscious analysis, Dr. Kupelian has helped shape a more efficient, patient-centered approach to modern radiation oncology.
