About
E. Van Eycken is a leading researcher in urologic oncology, with a primary focus on optimizing treatment strategies for prostate cancer, particularly in the context of robot-assisted surgery. Their work centers on refining post-operative management and improving prognostic tools for patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). A key contribution is their development and external validation of nomograms that predict adverse pathological characteristics following robotic prostatectomy, drawing from a prospective, multi-institutional, nationwide series—a tool that has garnered 11 citations for its clinical utility. Van Eycken also made a significant impact with their study on the current management of pT3b prostate cancer after RALP, which has been cited 19 times, guiding surgeons on handling advanced local disease. Notably, their population-based cohort research revealed that the availability of a radiotherapy department on-site at the surgical center independently predicts the use of adjuvant or early salvage radiotherapy, highlighting systemic variations in care beyond patient factors. This finding, with 2 citations, underscores Van Eycken’s commitment to understanding real-world treatment disparities, offering critical insights for improving equitable access to postoperative radiotherapy.
