About

Dr. Sarah C. Charney is a leading veterinary radiation oncologist whose research has advanced the use of precision radiotherapy in companion animals. Her most cited work, "Use of an Image-Guided Robotic Radiosurgery System for the Treatment of Canine Nonlymphomatous Nasal Tumors" (2014, 31 citations), demonstrates her pioneering application of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in veterinary medicine. This landmark study showed that an image-guided robotic system could deliver curative-intent, hypofractionated radiation to 19 dogs with nasal tumors, establishing a new standard for treating challenging anatomical sites with minimal toxicity. Dr. Charney’s contributions have been instrumental in translating human radiosurgery techniques—such as single-fraction and hypofractionated dosing—into safe, effective protocols for veterinary patients. Her work not only improves outcomes for companion animals but also provides a valuable comparative model for human oncology. With 31 citations on this key paper alone, her research has shaped clinical practice in veterinary radiation oncology, offering targeted, non-invasive options for tumors previously considered difficult to treat. Dr. Charney remains a vital voice in advancing image-guided precision therapy for animals.
