Stijn Keereweer

Dr. Stijn Keereweer serves as an Associate Professor and Researcher at Erasmus MC within the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. His academic work centers on advancing diagnostic and surgical methodologies for head and neck pathologies, with particular emphasis on cancer detection and reconstruction techniques.

His research portfolio spans Head and Neck Cancer (63% fingerprint intensity), Surgical Oncology, and innovative Fluorescence Imaging approaches including Raman spectrometry (55%). Key interests include systematic reviews of clinical protocols (66%), molecular-targeted intraoperative imaging, and quality-of-life outcomes following microvascular reconstruction. His work frequently addresses clinical challenges in neoplasm management (100% fingerprint intensity) and ex vivo diagnostic validation.

Recent publications demonstrate a pronounced shift toward data-driven oncology infrastructure and precision imaging, with 2025 outputs focusing on molecular lymph node mapping, RONCDOC tissue banking systems, and evidence-based screening protocols for second primary tumors. His systematic review work establishes clinical frameworks for non-Asian head/neck cancer populations.

Dr. Keereweer actively contributes to the Rotterdam Oncology Documentation (RONCDOC) initiative—a high-quality data warehouse and tissue repository supporting head/neck cancer research. His collaborative network spans multidisciplinary teams in surgical oncology, medical imaging, and clinical epidemiology, with recent external collaborations concentrated in European academic medical centers.

He has supervised 2 research projects to completion, mentoring junior researchers in otorhinolaryngology and head/neck surgical oncology. His leadership in RONCDOC facilitates institutional tissue banking standards and clinical data integration for translational research.
