About
Elisabeth van Eycken is a leading epidemiologist whose research focuses on cancer registration, surgical outcomes, and the real-world evaluation of oncological treatments, with a particular emphasis on urological cancers. Her major contributions lie in leveraging population-based data to assess the adoption and impact of robotic-assisted surgery, notably through her work on patient enrollment trends for robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy in Belgium, which has garnered 11 citations. This study provided critical insights into how technological diffusion shapes clinical practice beyond tertiary centers. She further advanced risk stratification in prostate cancer by co-developing and externally validating a nomogram to predict lymph node invasion after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a tool cited 6 times for its practical utility in guiding treatment decisions. Her work is instrumental in bridging the gap between surgical innovation and evidence-based oncology, demonstrating how registry data can inform personalized care. Van Eycken’s achievements underscore her role in shaping quality standards in cancer surgery and her commitment to translating clinical data into actionable prognostic models for improved patient outcomes.
