About

Saskia P. Stomps is a leading researcher in urologic oncology, specializing in the surgical management and risk stratification of prostate cancer. Her work centers on refining predictive tools to guide treatment decisions, particularly for patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Stomps’ major contributions include the development and external validation of a novel nomogram to predict side-specific extraprostatic extension, a critical factor in balancing oncologic control with nerve-sparing techniques. Her 2020 study, cited 61 times, demonstrated that nerve sparing during RARP significantly increases the risk of ipsilateral positive surgical margins, challenging conventional surgical wisdom and prompting more cautious patient selection. She also externally validated the Memorial Sloan Kettering and Briganti nomograms for predicting lymph node involvement, incorporating MRI-based clinical staging to improve accuracy. With over 140 cumulative citations, Stomps’ research directly impacts surgical planning, helping clinicians avoid unnecessary morbidity while ensuring complete cancer resection. Her work is essential reading for urologists and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to prostate cancer surgery, offering both rigorous methodology and immediate clinical relevance.
