About

Martijn van Dorp is a thoracic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of complex lung and chest wall malignancies, with a particular focus on sulcus superior tumors (SSTs). His major contribution lies in advancing the understanding and practice of trimodality therapy—combining chemoradiotherapy with en-bloc chest wall and lung resection—for these challenging tumors. By definition, SSTs invade the chest wall, necessitating precise, multidisciplinary surgical planning; van Dorp’s research clarifies the technical nuances and outcomes of such resections, helping to refine guideline-recommended treatments. His most-cited paper, “Chest wall resections for sulcus superior tumors,” has garnered 2 citations since 2024, reflecting its emerging impact in a specialized field. Beyond this, van Dorp’s work contributes to optimizing perioperative care and survival outcomes for patients with locally advanced thoracic cancers. His dedication to translating complex surgical challenges into actionable clinical insights makes him a valuable voice for trainees and colleagues navigating the intersection of oncology and thoracic surgery.
