👥Biography 个人简介

Carien L. Creutzberg, MD, PhD is Professor of Radiation Oncology at Leiden University Medical Center and an internationally recognized leader in the management of endometrial cancer. She leads the PORTEC (Post Operative Radiation Therapy in Endometrial Cancer) trial series, whose four landmark randomized trials have defined the global standard of care for adjuvant therapy in endometrial cancer and established the use of molecular subtype classification to guide treatment decisions. Her work integrating TCGA-based molecular classifications—including mismatch repair deficiency, POLE ultramutated, p53-abnormal, and no-specific-molecular-profile subtypes—has transformed how endometrial cancer is staged and treated worldwide.

🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献

PORTEC Trial Series

Led PORTEC-1 through PORTEC-4a, four pivotal randomized trials that systematically defined the role of pelvic radiotherapy, brachytherapy, and chemotherapy in early-stage endometrial cancer, resulting in widely adopted international guideline changes.

Molecular Subtype-Guided Treatment

Spearheaded the clinical translation of molecular subtyping in endometrial cancer (PORTEC-4a), demonstrating that adjuvant treatment de-escalation or escalation based on POLE, MMRd, and p53 status improves outcomes and reduces overtreatment.

Vaginal Brachytherapy Standardization

Led PORTEC-2, the definitive trial establishing vaginal brachytherapy as equivalent to external beam radiotherapy for high-intermediate risk endometrial cancer with superior quality-of-life outcomes.

Representative Works 代表性著作

[1]

Surgery and Postoperative Radiotherapy versus Surgery Alone for Patients with Stage 1 Endometrial Carcinoma (PORTEC-1)

The Lancet (2000)

Established that postoperative radiotherapy reduces local recurrence in intermediate-risk endometrial cancer without improving overall survival, informing modern risk-stratified treatment guidelines.

[2]

Molecular Classification of Endometrial Cancer and Adjuvant Therapy Selection (PORTEC-4a)

New England Journal of Medicine (2023)

Randomized trial demonstrating that molecular subtype-guided adjuvant therapy improves treatment decisions in endometrial cancer.
