About
Donato Pezzulla is a leading figure in radiation oncology, with a focused expertise in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and the management of recurrent prostate cancer. His most impactful work addresses one of oncology’s most challenging scenarios: safely retreating patients who have experienced biochemical recurrence after prior pelvic irradiation. In his highly cited 2017 study, Pezzulla demonstrated that robotic stereotactic retreatment offers a precise, effective salvage strategy, achieving robust biochemical control while minimizing toxicity in this vulnerable population. This contribution has been cited over 50 times, underscoring its influence on clinical protocols for oligorecurrent disease. Beyond this landmark paper, Pezzulla’s research portfolio spans advanced radiation techniques, including dose escalation and image-guided adaptive therapy, to improve outcomes in genitourinary malignancies. His work is distinguished by a rigorous, patient-centered approach that bridges technological innovation with real-world clinical benefit. For students and researchers, Pezzulla exemplifies how targeted, high-quality evidence can reshape treatment paradigms for complex, relapsed cancers.
