About

Stefan Both is a leading figure in the field of medical physics, with a primary focus on advancing proton therapy for cancer treatment. His research centers on improving the precision and safety of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), particularly for complex anatomical sites like the head and neck. A key contribution is his work on robustness evaluation, where he developed methods to assess and mitigate the impact of uncertainties—such as patient setup errors and anatomical changes—on dose delivery. His 2019 paper, "Robustness Evaluation Using Dose Accumulation in Head and Neck IMPT," which has garnered 4 citations, exemplifies his commitment to translating theoretical robustness concepts into practical clinical tools. This work helps ensure that planned doses are actually delivered, reducing the risk of underdosing tumors or overdosing healthy tissues. Beyond this, Dr. Both is recognized for his broader contributions to treatment planning optimization and quality assurance in proton therapy. His research directly impacts clinical practice, enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of advanced radiotherapy techniques for patients.
