Footnotes:

Dr.. Zamboglou has contributed 137 publications in renowned German and international scientific journals with approximately 1.200 citations. His academic work included also the editing and authorship of 7 books as well as 23 book-chapters in the field of oncology.

During the 70´s in his capacity as a physicist at the KFA Jülich (Centre for Nuclear Research Jülich) and the Institute of Medical Physics and Radiation of the University of Essen, he focused his work on the topic of biological dosimetry. In the 80´s he also expanded his research activities on the field of simultaneous radio-chemotherapy and implemented the results of his translational research at the University Hospital of Düsseldorf.

(*) After becoming Head of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Offenbach Hospital in 1992, he focused on clinical as well as technological studies in the field of interventional radiotherapy – brachytherapy.
His collaboration with Prof N. Uzunoglou from the National Technical University of Athens, Professor G. Sakas from the Technical University of Darmstadt and Professor D. Baltas from the field of medical physics has decisively contributed to scientific developments in the field of brachytherapy.

Over the past years, Mr. Zamboglou and his research team have been able to expand the spectrum of treatment indications for interventional radiotherapy. The capacity of advanced image guidance and individualised dose shaping, enabled the effective application of interstitial brachytherapy for the treatment of prostate and breast cancer, sarcomas as well as brain tumour and soft tissue recurrences.

Especially in the curative treatment of prostate cancer, brachytherapy yields the same treatment results compared to radical surgery. However, the percentage of treatment related urinary incontinence is insignificant and the proportion of patients with preserved erectile function exceeds 80%.

Through progresses in the optimisation of dose distribution and advanced methods of virtual treatment simulation, Professor Zamboglou has offered advanced interventional radiotherapeutical treatment to more than 15.000 patients. He trained physicians from more than 120 institutions, including 10 centres from Greece, in his brachytherapy method.

Professor Zamboglou’s research focuses primarily on the field of image guided three dimensional treatment planning with geometry oriented optimisation of dose distribution. His work consists of physical, biomedical and technological research activities and introduced advanced biomedical imaging techniques.
