About
Stefan Wurster is a radiation oncology researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and robotic radiosurgery, with particular focus on the treatment of spinal, liver, and lung tumors. His research has been instrumental in refining inverse treatment planning methodologies, as demonstrated by his leadership in an international multi-institutional benchmark trial that garnered 37 citations and helped standardize robotic radiosurgery planning practices globally. Wurster's most impactful contributions center on motion-compensated robotic SBRT, where he and his colleagues demonstrated excellent local control outcomes for liver oligometastases while rigorously quantifying the dosimetric implications of residual tracking errors — work that has collectively accumulated nearly 100 citations. His innovative application of GTV mean-dose optimization across both liver and lung tumor treatments, supported by retrospective analyses of hundreds of patients, has provided the clinical community with practical frameworks for improving tumor coverage while preserving healthy tissue. His use of post-therapeutic MRI morphologic alterations to verify in-vivo treatment accuracy represents a particularly novel methodological contribution. Through multi-platform cohort studies and technical analyses of dose-rate variations in brain metastasis treatment, Wurster's body of work reflects a commitment to translating technological precision into measurable clinical benefit.
