About

Maarten Albersen is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on the surgical management of genitourinary cancers, particularly penile and prostate cancer. His major contributions center on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques to improve outcomes and reduce morbidity. In penile cancer, he has championed minimally invasive inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND), demonstrating its benefits over traditional open surgery through comprehensive reviews and clinical studies. For prostate cancer, his work on robot-assisted salvage lymph node dissection (sLND) for recurrent disease has been pivotal, comparing peri-operative and early oncological outcomes to open approaches, offering patients a less invasive alternative to delay palliative androgen deprivation therapy. With his most-cited papers accumulating over 30 citations, Albersen’s impact is evident in shaping modern surgical practice. His notable achievements include authoring key reviews and commentaries that guide clinical decision-making, and his ongoing work continues to refine treatment paradigms for complex urologic malignancies, making him a respected voice in the field.
