About
Anton M.F. Kalsbeek is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of advanced imaging, minimally invasive surgery, and quality-of-life outcomes in prostate cancer care. His major contributions include pioneering the use of 68Gallium-PSMA PET/CT to guide robot-assisted salvage lymphadenectomy for oligometastatic recurrence—a technically demanding procedure that, as his 2017 study (64 citations) showed, offers an acceptable safety profile but limited oncological benefit, providing crucial evidence for clinical decision-making. He has also been at the forefront of comparing focal irreversible electroporation (IRE) with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), using a pair-matched design to evaluate patient-reported quality of life and early oncological control (2018, 40 citations). This work highlights his commitment to patient-centered outcomes and the rigorous evaluation of emerging focal therapies. With over 100 citations across his most influential papers, Kalsbeek’s research is shaping the evidence base for personalized, less invasive treatment strategies in prostate cancer, making him a key voice in the ongoing debate between functional preservation and cancer control.
