Nanna Maria Sijtsema

Nanna Maria Sijtsema is a researcher specializing in radiotherapy and oncological imaging. Her work focuses on adaptive radiotherapy techniques, image biomarkers, and radiomics applications in cancer treatment. She has contributed to studies on head and neck cancer, proton therapy optimization, and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) modeling. Sijtsema holds an editorial role at the journal Physica Medica.

Her research interests include improving treatment outcomes through precision radiation oncology, integrating AI-driven imaging solutions, and predicting treatment-related side effects. Key collaborations involve international cohorts in head and neck cancer studies and proton therapy validation.

Notable contributions include developing MRI-based tumor segmentation algorithms and evaluating PET/CT biomarkers for outcome prediction. She received recognition as a 2020 Best of ASTRO abstract recipient for collaborative work on radiation dose optimization in breast cancer patients.
