About
Patrick Berkovic is a radiation oncologist whose research has made significant contributions to the field of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), with a particular focus on robotic radiosurgery using the CyberKnife® system. His work centers on the treatment of oligorecurrent and oligometastatic disease, examining how precisely targeted, high-dose radiation can effectively manage tumors in challenging anatomical sites including the lungs and liver. Berkovic's most influential contributions include comprehensive clinical outcome analyses demonstrating the efficacy and tolerability of robotic SBRT for pulmonary and hepatic metastases, collectively accumulating over 60 citations across his top publications. His 2017 study of 130 patients with primary and secondary lung tumors provided valuable real-world evidence supporting CyberKnife's role in treating diverse thoracic malignancies. Beyond clinical investigation, Berkovic has also contributed to the technical underpinnings of the field, including commissioning studies for Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithms that help ensure treatment accuracy and safety. His body of work bridges clinical oncology and medical physics, offering both practicing clinicians and researchers rigorous data to guide treatment decisions for patients with limited metastatic disease who may benefit from aggressive local therapy.
