About

Nicole Hodgins is a radiation oncologist whose research focuses on advancing treatment paradigms for prostate cancer, particularly through the integration of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Her most-cited work, a 2023 study on IMRT with SBRT boost for unfavorable prostate cancer, reports five-year outcomes demonstrating that this less-invasive alternative to brachytherapy can achieve comparable biochemical relapse-free survival. This contribution addresses a critical need for effective, non-surgical options in high-risk disease, offering patients a more accessible treatment pathway. With 5 citations to date, her research is gaining traction in the field, highlighting its clinical relevance. Hodgins’ work sits at the intersection of technological innovation and patient-centered care, exploring how advanced radiation techniques can improve outcomes while reducing invasiveness. Her findings are particularly valuable for clinicians seeking to optimize dose escalation strategies without the logistical demands of brachytherapy. As the evidence base for SBRT boosts continues to grow, Hodgins’ early outcomes provide a foundation for future randomized trials and broader adoption of this approach in unfavorable prostate cancer management.
