About
Dr. Pornpan Yongvithisatid is a leading expert in stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy, with a primary focus on treating complex intracranial tumors. Her research has significantly advanced the application of CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery for perioptic pituitary adenomas, demonstrating that hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy can safely deliver effective radiation while preserving the optic pathway. This work, published in 2015 and cited 32 times, established a crucial treatment paradigm for tumors near sensitive visual structures. Dr. Yongvithisatid further validated these findings in a 2018 study (19 citations), solidifying the clinical utility of this approach. More recently, she has extended her expertise to neurofibromatosis type 2 patients, investigating long-term outcomes of stereotactic radiotherapy for bilateral vestibular schwannomas. Her cumulative work, with over 55 citations, has directly improved treatment options for patients with challenging perioptic and skull base tumors, balancing tumor control with quality-of-life preservation. Dr. Yongvithisatid’s contributions are essential reading for radiation oncologists and neurosurgeons seeking evidence-based, organ-sparing radiation techniques.
