About
N. C. Van der Voort van Zijp is a pioneering researcher in stereotactic robotic radiotherapy, with a focused expertise in the curative treatment of complex, extracranial tumors. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of using CyberKnife technology to treat tumors located in challenging anatomical sites, such as those near the bowel or esophagus—areas traditionally considered high-risk for conventional radiation. In her landmark 2007 study, she reported on 15 patients with extrapulmonary, extrahepatic, and extraspinal tumors, achieving promising early results with minimal toxicity. This work, which has garnered 17 citations, provided crucial evidence that stereotactic body radiotherapy could be safely extended beyond the lung and liver, opening new therapeutic avenues for patients with inoperable or difficult-to-treat lesions. Van der Voort van Zijp’s research has been instrumental in refining treatment techniques and expanding the clinical applications of robotic radiosurgery, making her a notable figure in the advancement of precision radiation oncology.
