About

Tom Marcelissen is a leading urologist and researcher whose work centers on the management of radiation-induced genitourinary toxicities, particularly radiation urethritis and cystitis (RUC). His major contribution lies in synthesizing fragmented clinical evidence into actionable frameworks for patient care. In his most cited work, "Development of a Management Algorithm for Acute and Chronic Radiation Urethritis and Cystitis" (2021, 20 citations), Marcelissen spearheaded a multidisciplinary review of the literature to create the first comprehensive, evidence-based algorithm for assessing and treating RUC. This algorithm provides clinicians with a structured, stepwise approach—from conservative measures to advanced interventions—addressing a critical gap in survivorship care for pelvic cancer patients. Beyond this, his research portfolio explores innovative therapies for lower urinary tract symptoms and reconstructive urology, reflecting a commitment to improving quality of life after cancer treatment. With his work gaining traction in the urology community, Marcelissen is recognized for translating complex pathophysiology into practical clinical tools, making him a key voice in the evolving field of radiation-induced urological sequelae.
