About
Dr. Viviana Vitolo is a leading clinical researcher in hadrontherapy, specializing in the application of scanned proton and carbon ion beams for cancer treatment. Her major contributions center on pioneering the clinical implementation of advanced particle therapy at the Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO), where she has been instrumental in establishing safe and effective treatment protocols. Her highly cited 2013 paper, "Initial clinical experience with scanned proton beams at the Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO)," reported the first toxicity data from patients treated with scanned proton beams at CNAO, marking a critical milestone in the field. This work, which has garnered 18 citations, demonstrated the feasibility and safety of this cutting-edge technology in a clinical setting. Dr. Vitolo’s research has directly shaped the adoption of pencil-beam scanning techniques for treating challenging tumors, including skull-base chordomas and chondrosarcomas. Her ongoing work continues to refine dose delivery and reduce treatment-related side effects, solidifying her reputation as a key figure in the advancement of particle therapy in Europe.
