Maria Chiara Lo Greco’s contribution to radiotherapy
- Paediatric radiotherapy quality assurance: Through her EORTC Research Fellowship, she contributed to radiotherapy quality assurance across QUARTET-affiliated clinical trials, supporting efforts to improve treatment consistency in paediatric oncology.
- Radiotherapy planning for sarcomas: She worked on improving target-volume delineation guidelines and resources for rhabdomyosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, helping standardise radiotherapy planning for children with these cancers.
- Reirradiation in paediatric brain tumours: She co-authored research investigating repeated radiotherapy in children with progressive diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), examining its feasibility, safety, clinical response, and potential survival benefits.
- International scientific collaboration: She contributed to the EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group and presented her research at international conferences, including SIOPE and ESTRO.
- Advancing radiotherapy evidence: Her research also addresses treatment optimisation in other cancer types, including hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer and radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
