About
Dr. Filippo Russo is a leading urologic researcher whose work centers on the precision diagnosis and management of prostate cancer, with a particular focus on improving risk stratification for active surveillance and optimizing post-surgical outcomes. His major contributions lie in the comparative evaluation of novel biomarkers and imaging modalities. His most cited work (42 citations) directly compared multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), the Prostate Health Index (PHI), and PCA3 to predict clinically significant prostate cancer in men eligible for active surveillance, providing critical data for avoiding unnecessary treatment. He further refined patient selection for active surveillance by demonstrating how mpMRI enhances the predictive accuracy of established criteria like Epstein and PRIAS. Dr. Russo has also advanced surgical care, investigating the role of mpMRI in guiding pelvic lymph node dissection and developing structured rehabilitation programs to improve urinary continence after robotic prostatectomy. His recent work includes a randomized controlled trial on home-based pelvic floor training, and he has reported on salvage robotic surgery following HIFU failure. With a career spanning from high-impact comparative diagnostics to innovative rehabilitation strategies, Dr. Russo’s research directly shapes clinical decision-making for men with prostate cancer.
