About
Thierry N. Boellaard is a leading researcher in urologic oncology, with a primary focus on improving the preoperative staging and surgical outcomes for prostate cancer. His work centers on integrating advanced imaging—specifically prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET and multiparametric MRI—into clinical decision-making. Dr. Boellaard has made seminal contributions by developing and externally validating novel nomograms that incorporate these modern imaging modalities to more accurately predict pelvic lymph-node metastases, with his landmark 2021 multicenter study accumulating over 70 citations. He has also pioneered the use of 3D MRI-based prostate models to guide nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, and established a standardized method for measuring membranous urethral length to predict post-surgical urinary incontinence. His research extends to predicting early oncological outcomes and exploring AI-driven segmentation for surgical planning. With multiple highly-cited publications in top journals, Dr. Boellaard’s work is directly shaping how clinicians assess risk, plan surgery, and counsel patients, bridging the gap between imaging innovation and personalized surgical care.
