Nienke Sijtsema

Nienke Sijtsema is a Researcher at Erasmus MC's Department of Radiotherapy, focusing on advanced imaging techniques and radiation therapy applications. Her work emphasizes personalized treatment strategies for cancers like oropharyngeal carcinoma, head and neck cancer, and prostate cancer. Key research areas include cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and dose-response analysis in radiation therapy.

Her research outputs highlight innovations in imaging systems (e.g., ring-gantry CBCT) to improve treatment accuracy and patient outcomes. Collaborations involve multidisciplinary teams addressing topics such as tumor response prediction and HPV-related carcinomas. While no explicit awards or grants are mentioned, her contributions to radiation oncology imaging have gained recognition through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
