About
Dr. Yong Bae Kim is a leading radiation oncologist whose research focuses on advancing stereotactic radiation therapy techniques for breast cancer and optimizing linear accelerator technologies. His most impactful work, a 2023 prospective observational cohort study on stereotactic accelerated partial breast irradiation (SAPBI) in early breast cancer, has garnered 8 citations by demonstrating that this approach achieves excellent cosmetic outcomes with minimal toxicity—a critical finding for patients seeking breast-conserving treatment. Dr. Kim also made foundational contributions to medical physics through his 2018 study on the acceptance testing and commissioning of the CyberKnife M6 robotic radiosurgery system equipped with the InCise™2 multileaf collimator. This work, which included rigorous mechanical interdigitation testing, provided the first comprehensive commissioning protocol for this advanced platform at Yonsei Cancer Center, enabling safer and more precise robotic intensity-modulated radiation therapy. His dual expertise in clinical outcomes and technological validation positions him as a bridge between cutting-edge radiotherapy hardware and patient-centered care. Dr. Kim’s research continues to shape protocols for partial breast irradiation while ensuring the safe clinical implementation of next-generation radiation delivery systems.
