About
Rahul Bhandari is a radiation oncologist whose research focuses on advancing stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy techniques for intracranial tumors, particularly meningiomas. His most-cited work, "Five Fraction Image-Guided Radiosurgery for Primary and Recurrent Meningiomas" (2013, 26 citations), addresses a critical clinical challenge: treating large or complex meningiomas that are poorly suited for single-fraction radiosurgery due to elevated risks of symptomatic peritumoral edema and proximity to critical structures like cranial nerves and sinuses. Bhandari demonstrated that a five-fraction, image-guided approach can safely deliver effective radiation while minimizing toxicity, offering a valuable alternative for patients with these difficult-to-manage tumors. This contribution has helped refine treatment paradigms for both primary and recurrent meningiomas, balancing tumor control with quality of life. Though his citation count is modest, his work is highly relevant to practicing radiation oncologists and neurosurgeons, providing practical guidance for fractionated radiosurgery. Bhandari’s research underscores the importance of personalized, image-guided treatment planning in improving outcomes for patients with complex benign brain tumors.
