About
Huijbert van der Stadt is a surgical researcher whose work centers on the intersection of nuclear medicine and intraoperative imaging, with a primary focus on prostate cancer surgery. His key research areas include PSMA-targeted radioguided surgery, fluorescence imaging, and the clinical translation of hybrid tracers for real-time tumor visualization. Van der Stadt’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility of fluorescence imaging at microdosing levels using a hybrid PSMA tracer during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a breakthrough that addresses the growing demand for visual confirmation of cancerous tissue without compromising the safety of low-dose radiotracer regimes. His most-cited paper, published in 2022, has already garnered 11 citations, reflecting its relevance in the rapidly evolving field of image-guided surgery. This work is particularly notable for its use of a large animal model to bridge preclinical development and clinical application, highlighting van der Stadt’s commitment to rigorous translational research. By enabling surgeons to combine the precision of radioguidance with the immediacy of fluorescence, his research is paving the way for more accurate, less invasive prostate cancer surgeries—a promising step toward personalized, real-time surgical oncology.
