Hamid R. Djalilian

Hamid R. Djalilian, MD, is a Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine. His clinical and research expertise focuses on advanced treatment modalities for vestibular schwannomas (VSs), including stereotactic radiosurgery techniques like CyberKnife. While the provided literature reviews outcomes of CyberKnife radiosurgery for VSs (tumor control rate: 96.3%; hearing preservation rate: 79.1%), these studies align with his department's research priorities but do not explicitly attribute authorship to him. His role as a faculty member suggests active involvement in clinical research and patient care in otolaryngology and related fields.

Research Interests:

• Advanced radiosurgical techniques for vestibular schwannomas
• Hearing preservation in neurological tumors
• Neurofibromatosis type 2 management
• Clinical outcomes in stereotactic radiation therapy

Academic Context: The UCI School of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery specializes in multidisciplinary approaches to cranial nerve tumors, integrating neurosurgical and radiation oncology expertise.
