About

Vincenzo Fusco is a distinguished radiation oncologist whose research focuses on advancing precision and safety in radiotherapy, particularly for head and neck cancers. His most cited work, "Is ExacTrac x‐ray system an alternative to CBCT for positioning patients with head and neck cancers?" (2013, 13 citations), evaluates the ExacTrac robotic system’s six-degrees-of-freedom correction capabilities for patient positioning during intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). This study demonstrated that ExacTrac offers a reliable alternative to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), enhancing setup accuracy and reducing treatment margins—a critical contribution to minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues. Fusco’s work underscores his commitment to integrating advanced imaging and robotics into clinical workflows, improving both efficacy and patient outcomes. With a career marked by practical innovations in radiotherapy, he has influenced protocols for head and neck cancer treatment, where precise targeting is paramount. His research bridges technology and clinical application, making him a key figure in modern radiation oncology.
