About

Raffaella Cambria is a leading figure in radiation oncology, specializing in stereotactic radiotherapy and image-guided techniques for cancer treatment. Her research focuses on advancing precision radiation delivery, particularly for recurrent and complex tumors. Her most-cited work, "Linac-based or robotic image-guided stereotactic radiotherapy for isolated lymph node recurrent prostate cancer" (2009, 71 citations), is a seminal contribution that systematically compared two cutting-edge approaches—linac-based and robotic systems—for treating oligometastatic prostate cancer. This study provided critical evidence on the feasibility and efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for isolated lymph node recurrences, helping to establish a standard for non-invasive salvage therapy. Cambria’s work has directly influenced clinical protocols, offering patients a targeted alternative to systemic treatments. Her impact is reflected in the sustained citation of her research, which continues to guide oncologists and physicists in optimizing radiotherapy planning and delivery. Through her meticulous comparisons of technological platforms, she has advanced the integration of image guidance and motion management into routine practice, improving outcomes for patients with recurrent disease.
