About
Dr. Jonas DeVos is a leading researcher in oncological decision-making, with a primary focus on understanding the cognitive and psychosocial factors that shape how patients navigate treatment choices for localised prostate cancer. His most cited work, a 2015 study, made a foundational contribution by developing and validating a standardised questionnaire designed to systematically capture the cognitive influences—such as risk perception, information processing, and personal values—that drive patients’ treatment decisions between surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, and active surveillance. This instrument has become a critical tool for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve shared decision-making and patient-centred care in urological oncology. While his citation impact is still growing, Dr. DeVos’s work is notable for its methodological rigor and direct clinical applicability, bridging the gap between psychological theory and real-world patient counselling. His research continues to inform how healthcare providers support men facing one of the most consequential decisions in prostate cancer management.
