About
Dr. Patamintita Vitoonpanich is a leading radiation oncologist whose research focuses on the precise application of stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy, particularly for complex intracranial tumors. Her major contributions center on optimizing treatment for perioptic pituitary adenomas, where the proximity of the optic pathway presents a significant challenge. In her highly cited 2015 study, she demonstrated the clinical efficacy and safety of hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy using CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery for these delicate cases. This work provides a critical alternative to single-fraction radiosurgery, which carries a higher risk of radiation-induced optic neuropathy. By establishing a protocol that balances tumor control with the preservation of vision, Dr. Vitoonpanich has directly improved treatment outcomes for patients with these challenging tumors. Her research, which has garnered over 30 citations, is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in neuro-oncology and radiation oncology, offering a refined, evidence-based approach to a high-stakes clinical problem.
