Overview

Monique J. Roobol is affiliated with Erasmus MC in the Netherlands and has a significant body of work in medical research, particularly focused on prostate cancer. Their expertise spans a range of fields within medicine, including pulmonary and respiratory medicine, oncology, surgery, radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging, as well as economics and econometrics.

The scientist's research primarily addresses topics related to prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, prostate cancer treatment and research, and related areas such as global cancer incidence and screening, bladder and urothelial cancer treatments, radiomics and machine learning in medical imaging, health systems, economic evaluations, quality of life, and colorectal cancer screening and detection.

Recent notable publications include:

  • An integrative multi-omics analysis to identify candidate DNA methylation biomarkers related to prostate cancer risk (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Prostate-specific Antigen Testing as Part of a Risk-Adapted Early Detection Strategy for Prostate Cancer: European Association of Urology Position and Recommendations for 2021 (2021, European Urology)
  • Serum PSA-based early detection of prostate cancer in Europe and globally: past, present and future (2022, Nature Reviews Urology)
  • Clinically significant prostate cancer detection and segmentation in low-risk patients using a convolutional neural network on multi-parametric MRI (2020, European Radiology)
  • A European Model for an Organised Risk-stratified Early Detection Programme for Prostate Cancer (2021, European Urology Oncology)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Roobol include:

  • Sebastiaan Remmers
  • Lionne D. F. Venderbos
  • Mieke Van Hemelrijck
  • Anders Bjartell
