About
Vito Annese is a radiologist whose research focuses on advancing interventional oncology, particularly through the integration of image-guided techniques with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for liver cancer. His most-cited work, a 2017 prospective trial, systematically evaluated the feasibility and safety of percutaneous ultrasound-guided placement of three different fiducial marker types and needles for robotic SBRT. This comparative analysis provided critical evidence for optimizing tumor tracking accuracy, directly impacting the precision of radiation delivery to hepatic lesions. By demonstrating the technical reliability of ultrasound-guided marker insertion, Annese's research has helped bridge interventional radiology and radiation oncology, enabling more effective, non-invasive treatment of liver malignancies. His contributions are essential for clinicians seeking to improve local tumor control while minimizing damage to healthy liver tissue. With 8 citations on this landmark study, his work continues to inform best practices in fiducial placement, underscoring his role in refining the procedural workflow for liver cancer SBRT. Annese's dedication to methodological rigor in interventional oncology positions him as a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive cancer therapies.
