About
Steven Tatter is a leading neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical treatment of brain tumors, with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions lie in the clinical application and validation of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for brain tumor ablation. Dr. Tatter is the principal investigator of the landmark LAANTERN (Laser Ablation of Abnormal Neurological Tissue Using Robotic NeuroBlate System) registry, a pivotal multicenter prospective study that has provided real-world evidence on outcomes and quality of life following LITT. His most-cited paper from this registry, reporting 12-month outcomes after brain tumor ablation, has garnered 75 citations and is foundational in establishing LITT as a safe and effective alternative to traditional open surgery for select patients. This work has directly shaped neurosurgical practice by demonstrating that LITT can achieve tumor control while preserving neurological function and improving patient recovery. Dr. Tatter’s research has been instrumental in moving the field toward less invasive, image-guided therapies, and his leadership in the LAANTERN registry continues to generate critical data that informs clinical decision-making for brain tumor patients worldwide.
