Florence van Lanschot

Florence van Lanschot is a researcher at Erasmus MC's Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, focusing on surgical oncology and advanced cancer detection techniques. Her work bridges clinical practice with translational research.

• Primary Focus: Surgical margin assessment in head and neck cancer
• Key Techniques: Raman spectroscopy, depth of invasion analysis
• Clinical Applications: Larynx/hypopharynx tumors, neck dissection protocols

Recent research explores the feasibility of Royal College of Pathologists (RCP) guidelines for margin determination and correlates margin status with survival rates in laryngectomy patients. Publications highlight interdisciplinary collaboration with pathologists and clinicians.

Her work demonstrates expertise in clinical-research integration, with a focus on technological applications like Raman spectrometry for intraoperative cancer detection. Current trends show emphasis on optimizing surgical protocols and improving patient outcomes through precision oncology.
