About

Sangami Pugazenthi is a clinical researcher whose work focuses on advancing neurosurgical oncology, particularly through the application of minimally invasive techniques for complex brain tumors. Her primary research areas include laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for meningiomas and gliomas, as well as the molecular and clinical characterization of aggressive primary brain tumors. Her most cited study, a prospective and retrospective case series on LITT for new and recurrent meningioma (2024, 7 citations), provides critical early evidence that this thermal ablation technique can be safely applied to meningiomas—the most common adult primary brain tumors—offering a new treatment avenue for lesions resistant to standard therapies. This work builds on her broader contributions to understanding tumor biology and optimizing surgical outcomes. Pugazenthi’s research is notable for bridging innovative technology with rigorous clinical evaluation, directly addressing the challenge of aggressive, treatment-resistant meningiomas. Her findings have implications for expanding LITT’s role in neuro-oncology, and her growing citation record reflects the field’s interest in her pioneering approach to improving patient outcomes through less invasive interventions.
