Fabiënne Koekelkoren

Fabiënne Koekelkoren is a Dermatology Researcher at Erasmus MC specializing in skin cancer diagnostics and metastasis detection. Her work focuses on clinical applications of ultrasonography for lymph node metastasis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in head and neck regions.

Her research interests center on diagnostic accuracy optimization in skin cancer management, with emphasis on

• Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma staging
• Ultrasonography protocols for lymph node assessment
• Metastatic carcinoma detection methods
• Basal cell carcinoma therapeutic interventions

She investigates how imaging techniques complement clinical examinations to improve nodal metastasis identification in high-risk patients.

Analysis of her publication trends reveals consistent focus on head and neck skin cancer diagnostics, with recent work emphasizing multicenter validation of ultrasonography protocols (2023) and diagnostic accuracy benchmarks (2022). Earlier research explored targeted therapies like Vismodegib (2019) and foundational imaging approaches (2018).

No scientific awards were listed in available documentation.

Her collaborative network shows significant engagement with Dutch dermatology institutions, particularly through co-authorship with Erasmus MC colleagues including Wakkee, Grünhagen, and Nijsten. While no formal students or grants are documented, her work demonstrates extensive multicenter collaboration across European dermatology research groups.

Koekelkoren's research contributes to clinical decision-making frameworks for skin cancer management, particularly regarding imaging utilization in metastasis detection protocols.
