About
Francesca Valvo is a leading figure in the field of particle therapy, with a focused expertise in image-guided radiotherapy and precision patient positioning for advanced cancer treatments. Her work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and clinical application, particularly within the CNAO (National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy) facility. Her most cited paper, "Image guided particle therapy in CNAO room 2: Implementation and clinical validation" (2014, 34 citations), details the crucial integration of imaging systems to enhance the accuracy of particle beam delivery, a foundational contribution that has improved treatment outcomes for patients. Further demonstrating her innovative approach, Valvo developed a novel platform for patient positioning and motion monitoring in ocular proton therapy using a non-dedicated beamline (2019, 11 citations), a significant achievement that expands access to this precise treatment for eye tumors. Through these contributions, Valvo has established herself as a key architect of modern, high-precision hadrontherapy, directly impacting how clinicians plan and deliver life-saving radiation treatments.
