Mischa de Ridder's research explores advancements in radiation oncology for head and neck cancers. Key areas include image-guided radiotherapy (e.g., FAPI-PET and MR-guided approaches), oligometastases, and brachytherapy techniques. Recent publications highlight clinical implementation of stem cell-sparing radiotherapy, automated tumor delineation validated by pathology, and cisplatin toxicity comparisons in chemoradiation protocols.

Recent publications demonstrate trends in high-precision cancer therapies, including PET imaging integration, automated segmentation tools, and toxicity reduction strategies. Collaborative work spans multidisciplinary teams addressing sinonasal NUT carcinoma, intestinal-type adenocarcinoma, and radiation-induced xerostomia.
