About
Dr. Lisanne L. de Boer is a pioneering biomedical engineer whose research focuses on the development and clinical translation of optical spectroscopy for real-time intraoperative tissue assessment. Her primary contributions lie in advancing diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) as a tool for surgical guidance, particularly in urologic oncology. In her landmark 2024 study on the feasibility of DRS for intraoperative margin assessment during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, Dr. de Boer demonstrated how this optical technique can potentially reduce the rate of positive surgical margins—a complication affecting up to 32% of patients. By measuring tissue composition through its unique optical properties, her work offers a non-invasive, real-time alternative to traditional histopathology. With over 3 citations already for this recent publication, her research is rapidly gaining recognition for its potential to improve oncologic outcomes and reduce reoperation rates. Dr. de Boer’s innovative approach bridges the gap between biophotonics and surgical practice, positioning her as a rising leader in the field of image-guided surgery. Her work not only advances precision medicine but also promises to enhance patient quality of life by minimizing residual cancer after prostatectomy.
