About
Greet De Coster is a leading Belgian urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on refining the surgical management and preoperative risk stratification of prostate cancer, particularly through robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Her major contributions center on developing and externally validating robust clinical nomograms that predict adverse pathological outcomes—such as lymph node invasion and high-grade disease—after robotic prostatectomy, using prospective, multi-institutional nationwide data. These tools help surgeons tailor treatment decisions and improve patient counseling. De Coster has also investigated contemporary trends in patient enrollment for robotic surgery in Belgium, documenting an inverse stage migration in non-referral centers. Her most cited work, “Current Management of pT3b Prostate Cancer After Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy” (19 citations), addresses the challenging management of seminal vesicle invasion. Across her portfolio, she has earned over 57 citations, demonstrating growing influence in the field. Her research is notable for its emphasis on real-world, multi-institutional validation, bridging the gap between tertiary referral centers and community robotic practices.
