I am a surgeon who specializes in nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy for the treatment of prostate cancer, and 'salvage' radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer in whom radiation therapy has failed.
My clinical research focuses on improving outcomes (such as cancer control, urinary continence, and sexual function) following surgery for prostate cancer. Together with my colleagues in medical oncology and radiation oncology, we attempt to tailor therapy more accurately to each individual's cancer in order to control cancer spread and decrease treatment-related side effects.
