About
Paul Foerster is a leading clinical researcher in ocular oncology, with a focused expertise in the application of robotic radiosurgery for the treatment of uveal melanoma and other intraocular tumors. His work has fundamentally advanced the field of eye-preserving therapy, particularly through the use of frameless, image-guided CyberKnife technology. Foerster’s major contributions include demonstrating high local efficacy and favorable eye retention rates for medium and large uveal melanomas, a patient group often considered challenging for conservative treatment. His research has also critically evaluated the comparative incidence of secondary glaucoma following radiosurgery versus traditional brachytherapy, providing essential data for treatment selection. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 150 across his most influential papers, Foerster has systematically expanded the indications for robotic radiosurgery, publishing seminal studies on its application for choroidal, ciliary body, and iris melanomas, as well as for choroidal metastases and benign vasoproliferative tumors. His pioneering work, including the first reported case of self-shielding gyroscopic radiosurgery for uveal melanoma, continues to shape modern, minimally invasive standards of care in ocular oncology.
