About
Lonneke V. van de Poll‐Franse is a leading health outcomes researcher whose work centers on the intersection of cancer survivorship, patient-reported outcomes, and shared decision-making, particularly in prostate cancer. Her major contributions include pioneering individualized risk prediction models for post-surgical complications, such as urinary incontinence after prostatectomy, to empower patients in treatment choices. Her 2021 study on this topic (18 citations) demonstrated how personalized risk information can influence decision-making, moving beyond standardized counseling. She has also advanced the understanding of "financial toxicity" in cancer care, with a 2022 study (9 citations) revealing the prevalence and impact of treatment-related financial burden among robot-assisted radical prostatectomy patients, linking it to both oncologic and functional outcomes. With a career spanning over two decades, van de Poll‐Franse has published extensively on health-related quality of life, often leveraging large cohort studies to translate patient experiences into actionable clinical insights. Her work has been instrumental in integrating patient perspectives into urologic oncology, making her a key figure in the movement toward more patient-centered cancer care.
