About
Shafak Aluwini is a leading expert in radiation oncology, specializing in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer. His research focuses on advancing treatment precision through automated planning and beam angle optimization. Aluwini pioneered the development of the 'iCycle' algorithm for fully automated multi-criterial optimization of beam angles and intensity profiles, a contribution that has garnered significant attention with 60 citations. His work on CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery as monotherapy for low- to intermediate-stage prostate cancer demonstrated excellent dose conformation and minimal normal tissue damage, earning 51 citations. Aluwini also investigated intrafraction prostate motion, quantifying the dosimetric impact of translations and rotations during hypofractionated treatment. His 2018 study introduced the first fully automated planning solution for robotic radiosurgery, comparing it favorably to volumetric arc therapy. With over 200 total citations across his key papers, Aluwini has substantially improved treatment efficiency and patient outcomes. His notable achievement includes successful patient randomization within the large-scale PACE study, highlighting his commitment to rigorous clinical evidence.
