About
Maarten L. Donswijk is a leading researcher in the field of urological oncology, with a particular focus on advanced imaging and surgical techniques for prostate cancer staging and treatment. Based at a prominent research institution, his work has significantly advanced the integration of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT imaging into clinical practice, transforming how clinicians detect, stage, and manage prostate cancer. Donswijk's most influential contributions center on the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of PSMA-targeted approaches. His pioneering prospective feasibility study on robot-assisted PSMA-radioguided salvage surgery using a DROP-IN gamma probe (73 citations) opened new frontiers in precision surgical oncology. Equally impactful is his international multicenter work validating and improving nomograms for predicting pelvic lymph-node metastases by incorporating PSMA PET/CT (71 citations), directly enhancing preoperative clinical decision-making. His research on sentinel node biopsy combined with PSMA imaging (61 citations) further refined lymph node staging accuracy. Collectively accumulating nearly 470 citations across his top publications, Donswijk's body of work bridges cutting-edge molecular imaging with minimally invasive robotic surgery. His research provides clinicians with validated, practical tools that improve patient outcomes, making him an essential reference point for anyone studying modern prostate cancer management.
