Max Peters University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands

Max Peters studied medicine at the University Medical Centre in Utrecht from 2007 to 2013, after which he obtained his PhD and a master’s in epidemiology by completing a period of research in brachytherapy for prostate cancer, at the Radiation Oncology department. From 2017 to date, he is a resident in Radiation Oncology at the University Medical Centre Utrecht, where he continues to pursue research in focal treatments for prostate cancer. His clinical focus is in MRI-guided HDR-brachytherapy for patients with recurrent cancer after primary radiotherapy. He works closely with urologists from Imperial College London and University College London, on various focal treatment modalities for primary and recurrent disease. This research primarily involves developing the clinical evidence base for cryotherapy and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). By collaboration and sharing of data and knowledge, he hopes to improve the counselling, optimal technique and treatment selection for patients with prostate cancer. Alongside his passion for prostate research he works with many different research groups covering various tumour sites to create statistical prediction models in order to enhance adequate patient selection for treatment or to optimise follow-up for high risk groups.
