Overview

Hein Putter is affiliated with Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands and has contributed extensively to the field of medicine, with a focus on surgery, oncology, and statistical methods applied to medical research. Their work spans a wide range of subfields including pulmonary and respiratory medicine, epidemiology, and cancer treatments.

Their research covers several main topics, such as statistical methods and inference, colorectal cancer surgical treatments, and advanced causal inference techniques. They have a notable emphasis on colorectal and anal carcinomas and endometrial and cervical cancer treatments. Additionally, they explore health systems, economic evaluations, and quality of life considerations in medical contexts.

Hein Putter's publication record includes a variety of recent papers that have appeared in respected journals. Some of these notable publications include:

  • Short-course radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy before total mesorectal excision (TME) versus preoperative chemoradiotherapy, TME, and optional adjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (RAPIDO): a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial (2020, The Lancet Oncology)
  • Molecular Classification of the PORTEC-3 Trial for High-Risk Endometrial Cancer: Impact on Prognosis and Benefit From Adjuvant Therapy (2020, Journal of Clinical Oncology)
  • Fasting mimicking diet as an adjunct to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer in the multicentre randomized phase 2 DIRECT trial (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Locoregional Failure During and After Short-course Radiotherapy Followed by Chemotherapy and Surgery Compared With Long-course Chemoradiotherapy and Surgery (2023, Annals of Surgery)
  • A tutorial on frailty models (2020, Statistical Methods in Medical Research)

Their collaborations include frequent co-authorship with scholars such as Elma Meershoek-Klein Kranenbarg, Carien L. Creutzberg, Cornelis J.H. van de Velde, Remi A. Nout, and Rob A.E.M. Tollenaar. The number of joint publications with these individuals reflects sustained research partnerships over time.

Regarding the channels of dissemination, Hein Putter has been published regularly in venues such as arXiv (Cornell University), Radiotherapy and Oncology, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Statistics in Medicine, and Statistical Methods in Medical Research. These platforms suggest a blend of open-access and peer-reviewed journal contributions, with an interdisciplinary reach covering clinical oncology and statistical methodology.
