About
Irina Kapitanova is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on the intersection of radiation oncology and emerging antimitotic therapies, particularly Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields). Her work addresses the critical challenge of integrating TTFields—a novel, non-invasive cancer treatment—with robotic hypofractionated radiation therapy for enhanced tumor control. In her most cited study, she investigates targeting accuracy considerations for simultaneous TTFields and radiation delivery, a technical problem that must be solved before these combined modalities can be translated into clinical practice. While her citation count is still growing, this work contributes to a foundational understanding of how to synchronize two distinct treatment mechanisms without compromising precision or safety. Kapitanova’s research is significant for its potential to expand treatment options for glioblastoma multiforme and other extracranial tumors, where concurrent therapy could improve outcomes. Her focus on technical feasibility and dosimetric accuracy places her at the forefront of a niche but rapidly advancing field, bridging engineering and clinical oncology to develop more effective, multi-modal cancer therapies.
