Els Van Nieuwenhuysen

About

Dr. Els Van Nieuwenhuysen is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a focused research program on the application of robotic surgery for the treatment of gynecologic cancers. Her major contributions center on evaluating the surgical and oncologic outcomes of minimally invasive techniques, particularly for endometrial and locally-advanced cervical cancer. In a landmark 2020 study within a Belgian gynecological oncology group cohort, she demonstrated the efficacy of robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer, reporting on critical outcomes that have informed clinical practice (15 citations). Her comparative work on para-aortic lymph node staging in cervical cancer further advanced the field, showing the advantages of robotic over conventional laparoscopy (10 citations). Dr. Van Nieuwenhuysen’s research is instrumental in refining surgical approaches to improve patient recovery and oncologic safety, making her a key voice in the ongoing evolution of gynecologic surgical oncology.
