Kim Sanders

Kim Sanders is a Researcher in the Department of General Practice at Erasmus MC, Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in interdisciplinary health research bridging intellectual disability care and oncology.

Her primary research focuses on intellectual disabilities in aging populations, particularly dysphagia epidemiology in older adults with intellectual impairments, and radiomics applications in oncology for predicting skeletal muscle responses to lung cancer chemotherapy. These domains reflect strong collaboration across nursing, medical specialties, and health professions as evidenced by her fingerprint topics including Prevalence, Odds Ratio, and Skeletal Muscle.

Recent publications demonstrate dual-track impact: the 2024 study advances geriatric care for intellectually disabled populations through dysphagia prevalence analysis, while the highly cited 2019 radiomics research pioneers predictive modeling in stage IV lung cancer treatment, showcasing methodological innovation in medical imaging and cancer therapeutics.
