Overview

Lambertus A. Kiemeney is affiliated with Radboud University in the Netherlands. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with a substantial number of publications in related subfields including surgery, molecular biology, genetics, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, and oncology.

Their work covers several main topics, notably bladder and urothelial cancer treatments, urinary and genital oncology studies, epigenetics and DNA methylation, genetic associations and epidemiology, prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, urological disorders and treatments, and BRCA gene mutations in cancer.

Among the recent papers authored or co-authored by Kiemeney are:

  • European Association of Urology (EAU) Prognostic Factor Risk Groups for Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) Incorporating the WHO 2004/2016 and WHO 1973 Classification Systems for Grade: An Update from the EAU NMIBC Guidelines Panel, 2021, European Urology
  • Epidemiology of Bladder Cancer in 2023: A Systematic Review of Risk Factors, 2023, European Urology
  • Global trends in the epidemiology of bladder cancer: challenges for public health and clinical practice, 2023, Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology
  • The genetic architecture of membranous nephropathy and its potential to improve non-invasive diagnosis, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Causal relationships between body mass index, smoking and lung cancer: Univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization, 2020, International Journal of Cancer

Kiemeney frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Katja K.H. Aben, Antoine G. van der Heijden, J. Alfred Witjes, Alina Vrieling, and Paul Brennan. These collaborations have resulted in numerous joint publications.

Their research has been published often in venues such as European Urology Open Science, European Urology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), UNC Libraries, and European Urology Oncology. These journals reflect a sustained contribution to the advancement of urological and oncological sciences.

In recognition of their contributions, Kiemeney was named a Member of Academia Europaea in 2016.
