About

Pascal P.A. Schellekens is a leading researcher in surgical oncology, with a primary focus on advancing breast cancer treatment through minimally invasive techniques. His key research areas include robotic-assisted mastectomy, nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), and the comparative analysis of surgical outcomes. Schellekens made a major contribution with his 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy to traditional NSM, which has garnered 44 citations to date. This work critically evaluated complication rates, offering evidence that robotic approaches may reduce morbidity while preserving oncologic safety—a finding that has influenced clinical practice and sparked further investigation. His research addresses the growing demand for prophylactic mastectomies and the need for improved cosmetic and functional outcomes. Beyond this landmark study, Schellekens has contributed to the broader understanding of breast cancer surgery, emphasizing patient-centered care and innovation. His work is highly regarded for its rigorous methodology and practical implications, making him a notable figure in the field. For students and researchers, Schellekens exemplifies how surgical innovation can enhance recovery and quality of life for breast cancer patients worldwide.
