Yassine Aaboubout is a Researcher in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at the Erasmus School of Medicine, Erasmus University Rotterdam. His work focuses on advancing surgical techniques for head and neck cancer, particularly in oral cavity malignancies and lymph node management. His research spans surgical margin assessment using optical spectroscopy (Raman and white light reflectance), biomechanical analysis of tissue deformation during procedures, and clinical management of neck dissection in squamous cell carcinoma. Key interests include real-time intraoperative diagnostics, minimally invasive oncological surgery, and improving precision in cancer resection through engineering approaches. Recent publications demonstrate a cohesive trajectory toward integrating optical diagnostics and biomechanical modeling into clinical practice, with emphasis on buccal cancer management (2024), spectroscopic margin assessment (2023), and lymph node metastasis detection (2021). This multidisciplinary work bridges surgical oncology, biomedical engineering, and real-time diagnostic technology. No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials. Information regarding student supervision and grant funding is not specified in the available text. Dr. Aaboubout collaborates within a multidisciplinary Erasmus MC team including surgeons, pathologists, physicists, and engineers, as evidenced by his co-authorship across 11 research outputs spanning clinical studies, technical experiments, and surgical protocols.
