About
Jeroen de Jong is a leading researcher in urologic oncology, specializing in the intersection of advanced surgical robotics and molecular imaging for prostate cancer management. His major contributions center on optimizing sentinel node biopsy techniques, where he pioneered the integration of fluorescence guidance with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. His seminal 2014 work on fluorescence guidance during sentinel node biopsy (119 citations) established a new standard for intraoperative lymph node mapping, directly improving the precision of prostate cancer staging. De Jong further advanced the field by developing multimodal hybrid imaging agents that bridge nuclear medicine with robotic surgery, enabling real-time visualization of sentinel nodes during radical prostatectomy. His research also encompasses predictive modeling for surgical outcomes, including a notable 2018 study correlating intraoperative fascia preservation with postoperative erectile function (17 citations), and correlative imaging studies linking multiparametric MRI findings with histopathology (43 citations). Through his work on sentinel node dissection to guide pelvic radiation therapy (20 citations), de Jong has helped refine treatment selection for node-negative patients, demonstrating impact on biochemical recurrence and systemic progression. His innovative approach to prostate pedicle management using stapling techniques further underscores his commitment to improving surgical precision and patient outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
