About

Erik W. Korevaar is a medical physicist and researcher specializing in intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), with a particular focus on treatment planning robustness and dose accumulation for head and neck cancers. His work addresses a critical challenge in proton therapy: ensuring that planned doses are accurately delivered despite anatomical changes and setup uncertainties during treatment. Korevaar’s most-cited paper, “Robustness Evaluation Using Dose Accumulation in Head and Neck IMPT” (2019), introduced a methodology that combines deformable image registration with dose accumulation to evaluate the clinical impact of interfractional variations. This contribution has been foundational for developing more reliable and adaptive proton therapy protocols, directly improving the safety and efficacy of treatments for patients with complex head and neck tumors. While his citation count is modest, his research is highly influential within the specialized field of proton therapy, where precision and robustness are paramount. Korevaar’s work exemplifies the rigorous, patient-centered approach needed to advance cutting-edge radiation oncology, making him a key figure in the ongoing effort to optimize IMPT for challenging clinical scenarios.
