Erwin de Boer has made significant contributions to various medical fields through recent research publications. In urology, de Boer investigated the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging-targeted prostate biopsy compared to systematic biopsies in patients with suspected prostate cancer. Additionally, studies focused on the treatment of uterine fibroids using mr-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (mr-HIFU) showed improved sonication efficiency after carbetocin administration and the development of a 3-step modified manipulation protocol for more precise treatments. In oncology, de Boer explored pain palliation with radiotherapy and focused ultrasound, as well as the safety and effectiveness of delayed surgery following neoadjuvant treatment for rectal cancer.
