About
Dr. Lukas C. van Dijk is a pioneering researcher in the field of interventional oncology and precision radiotherapy, with a primary focus on respiratory motion management during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). His most influential work, published in 2008, introduced the novel use of endovascular platinum embolisation coils as fiducial markers for real-time tumour tracking in lung cancer patients undergoing CyberKnife treatment. This landmark study, which has garnered 40 citations, demonstrated that coils could be safely and effectively deployed to mark intrapulmonary lesions, enabling accurate respiratory motion correction and facilitating high-dose, image-guided stereotactic radiotherapy. Dr. van Dijk's contributions have been instrumental in bridging interventional radiology and radiation oncology, offering a minimally invasive solution to a critical challenge in thoracic radiotherapy. His work has helped establish a foundation for more precise, motion-compensated treatments, improving outcomes for patients with lung tumours. Through his innovative approach, Dr. van Dijk has made a lasting impact on the field, advancing the clinical integration of real-time tumour tracking technologies.
