About

Annelies H. Boekhout is a leading researcher in personalized oncology and shared decision-making, with a focus on improving quality of life for prostate cancer patients. Her work centers on developing individualized risk prediction models for treatment-related side effects, particularly urinary incontinence after robot-assisted prostatectomy. In her highly cited 2021 study, she demonstrated that providing patients with personalized incontinence risk estimates significantly influences treatment choices, empowering men to make more informed decisions aligned with their values. This research, which has garnered 18 citations, bridges the gap between clinical data and patient-centered care. Boekhout’s contributions are notable for integrating predictive analytics into routine urological practice, enhancing the shared decision-making process for localized prostate cancer. Her work has been recognized for its direct impact on clinical guidelines and patient counseling, marking her as a key figure in the movement toward precision medicine in oncology. Through her innovative approach, Boekhout continues to shape how clinicians communicate risk and how patients navigate complex treatment decisions.
