About
Tim M. van der Sluis is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through advances in surgical oncology and imaging. His key research areas include sentinel node diagnostics, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and the integration of 3D imaging for surgical planning. Van der Sluis made a major contribution by demonstrating the diagnostic value of the sentinel node procedure for detecting occult lymph node metastases in PSMA PET/CT node-negative patients, a finding that refines staging accuracy and guides treatment decisions. His work on intraoperative strategies to reduce catheter-related bladder discomfort after RARP has practical implications for postoperative recovery, while his studies on bladder neck incision outcomes and the impact of radiotherapy on stricture formation provide critical insights for managing surgical complications. Van der Sluis has also advanced the use of 3D-reconstructed MRI models to predict extraprostatic extension and plan nerve-sparing surgery, enhancing precision in prostate cancer care. With multiple papers published in high-impact urology journals and over 40 citations across his most-cited works, his research is shaping clinical practice in urological oncology.
