About

Nanna M. Sijtsema is a leading researcher in the field of radiation oncology, with a primary focus on improving the precision and safety of proton therapy for head and neck cancers. Her work centers on robustness evaluation and dose accumulation in intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), addressing critical challenges in treatment planning to ensure consistent tumor coverage while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Sijtsema’s most-cited paper, "Robustness Evaluation Using Dose Accumulation in Head and Neck IMPT" (2019), has garnered 4 citations and is recognized for introducing innovative methods to assess and mitigate uncertainties in proton therapy delivery. This contribution is vital for advancing adaptive radiotherapy, where treatment plans are dynamically adjusted based on anatomical changes. Her research has practical implications for reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes, making her a respected voice in the oncology community. Sijtsema’s work continues to influence clinical protocols and inspire further exploration into dose accumulation techniques, underscoring her role in bridging computational modeling with real-world therapeutic applications.
