About

Dr. Koert de Jong is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of malignant liver tumors. His major contributions lie in the systematic evaluation of stereotactic and robotic navigation systems for thermal ablation, demonstrating how these technologies enhance procedural precision and safety. In his most-cited work, a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis, de Jong synthesized the available evidence to quantify clinical outcomes, providing a critical evidence base that guides current practice in interventional oncology. Though early in its citation history, this landmark study has already shaped the conversation around image-guided liver cancer therapy. Beyond this, de Jong’s broader portfolio explores the intersection of surgical robotics, ablation technology, and patient-centered outcomes, positioning him as a key voice in the evolution of precision liver surgery. His work is essential reading for researchers and clinicians seeking to understand the state of the art in stereotactic ablation and its potential to improve survival and quality of life for patients with liver malignancies.
