Benjamin Taylor

About

Benjamin Taylor is a leading researcher in urologic oncology, with a focus on the outcomes and disparities of robot-assisted surgeries for renal and prostate cancers. His work has been instrumental in understanding how hospital volume and surgical approach affect patient outcomes. Taylor’s most-cited study, “National trends and disparities of minimally invasive surgery for localized renal cancer, 2010 to 2015” (58 citations), reveals critical patterns in access to care. He further demonstrated that higher hospital volume is associated with better results in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (40 citations) and radical prostatectomy (38 citations), providing evidence for centralizing complex procedures. His research on predischarge predictors of readmissions after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (27 citations) offers actionable insights for improving postoperative care. Taylor’s contributions have shaped clinical guidelines and informed health policy, making him a key voice in the push for equitable, high-quality surgical care. His work is essential reading for anyone studying surgical oncology or healthcare disparities.
