About
Daniel Porres is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing the surgical management of prostate cancer, particularly through robot-assisted techniques. His major contributions focus on expanding the indications for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to challenging patient populations. He has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of RARP in men with prior transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), in those with high-risk, radiation-resistant recurrent cancer, and in patients with very elevated PSA levels (>20 ng/ml)—groups historically considered high-risk for surgery. His landmark study on RARP after TURP (43 citations) and his work on salvage RARP for radiation-resistant disease (26 citations) have helped redefine surgical candidacy, showing that these complex cases can achieve favorable oncologic and functional outcomes. Porres has also contributed to the broader literature on minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment. His cumulative work, with over 90 citations, has provided critical evidence supporting the expanded use of robotic surgery in urologic oncology, directly influencing clinical guidelines and improving outcomes for patients with the most challenging presentations of prostate cancer.
