About
Neal Dunlap is a leading radiation oncologist whose research focuses on advancing stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for both intracranial and extracranial tumors. His work centers on optimizing dose-response models to improve local tumor control while minimizing toxicity, particularly in the treatment of brain metastases and lung cancers. In a landmark 2016 study, Dunlap developed a dose-volume response model for brain metastases treated with frameless single-fraction robotic radiosurgery, providing critical insights into predictors of treatment success and enabling more personalized radiation planning. This work, cited 15 times, has helped refine clinical guidelines for radiosurgery. He also contributed to the quantification of planning target volume margins when using robotic radiosurgery with spine tracking for lung tumors (2014, 11 citations), enhancing the accuracy of treating moving targets. Dunlap’s research bridges the gap between dosimetric modeling and real-world patient outcomes, making him a key figure in the evolution of non-invasive cancer therapies. His contributions are widely recognized for improving the safety and efficacy of stereotactic treatments, directly impacting clinical practice in radiation oncology.
