About
T. Janssen is a surgical oncologist whose work centers on minimally invasive approaches to urologic cancers, with a particular focus on bladder cancer. Their most impactful contribution is the development of a novel technique combining interstitial brachytherapy with laparoscopic assistance for the treatment of T1/T2 bladder tumors. Since 2009, Janssen has treated 40 patients using this method, which employs cystoscopic guidance alongside a laparoscope and the Da Vinci robotic system to precisely implant radioactive sources under general anesthesia. This work, detailed in their 2014 paper (11 citations), represents a significant advance in organ-preserving therapy for bladder cancer, offering an alternative to radical cystectomy. By integrating real-time visualization with robotic precision, Janssen’s approach reduces invasiveness while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Their research bridges the gap between traditional brachytherapy and modern surgical robotics, establishing a new paradigm for targeted tumor ablation. Janssen’s contributions have been recognized as pioneering in the field of urologic oncology, particularly for patients seeking bladder-sparing treatment options.
