About
Clare Allen is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes for men undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for localized prostate cancer. Her major contribution centers on the NeuroSAFE technique—a standardized intraoperative frozen section analysis that enables real-time detection of positive surgical margins while maximizing neurovascular bundle preservation. She led the landmark NeuroSAFE PROOF feasibility study and the subsequent phase 3 randomized controlled trial (2025, 39 citations), which demonstrated that NeuroSAFE-guided RARP significantly improves erectile function and early urinary continence recovery compared to standard RARP. Her work has accumulated over 240 citations, with key publications in high-impact urology journals. Allen has also pioneered the use of three-dimensional printing for surgical planning in RARP (IDEAL Phase 2a study, 46 citations) and investigated the accuracy of multiparametric MRI in predicting extra-prostatic extension (30 citations), showing that negative mpMRI can reliably rule out EPE. Her research bridges surgical innovation, imaging, and pathology to reduce treatment-related toxicity, directly improving quality of life for prostate cancer patients.
