About
Guy Storme is a leading figure in radiation oncology, whose work has fundamentally advanced the precision of tumor targeting. His research centers on stereotactic radiosurgery, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), and the mitigation of patient setup errors. Storme’s major contributions lie in the clinical validation of high-accuracy positioning systems, most notably the Novalis ExacTrac 6DOF system. His seminal 2011 paper on a novel gimbals-based tracking system (164 citations) demonstrated how real-time tumor tracking could overcome respiratory motion, a critical challenge in thoracic and abdominal treatments. He also established the geometric accuracy of frameless radiosurgery (132 citations), proving that non-invasive immobilization could match the precision of invasive frames. By quantifying both secondary patient motion from automated couch corrections and optimal margin control using stereoscopic X-ray imaging (over 60 combined citations), Storme provided the data needed to safely reduce treatment volumes, minimizing damage to healthy tissue. His work has been instrumental in transitioning radiotherapy from coarse, margin-heavy plans to the sub-millimeter, adaptive treatments that define modern practice, making him a foundational figure in the pursuit of truly precise cancer therapy.
