About
Lea M. Dijksman is a leading researcher in urologic oncology and colorectal surgery, with a focus on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes. Her major contributions include the development and external validation of novel nomograms for predicting side-specific extraprostatic extension and lymph node involvement in prostate cancer, which have been cited over 60 and 57 times, respectively. She has also demonstrated that multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging should be preferred over digital rectal examination for prostate cancer staging and risk classification, and that nerve sparing during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy increases the risk of ipsilateral positive surgical margins. In colorectal surgery, Dijksman has led meta-analyses on postoperative inflammatory response and randomized trials comparing surgical positioning techniques. Her work has garnered over 250 citations, with notable achievements including the SPONGE trial and cost-effectiveness analyses of minimally invasive total mesorectal excision. Dijksman’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, balancing oncologic control with functional preservation in cancer surgery.
