About
Jennifer Gan is a leading urologic researcher whose work has fundamentally reshaped how we define and measure urinary continence after radical prostatectomy. Her key research areas include patient-reported outcomes, quality of life assessment, and surgical recovery metrics. Gan's most impactful contribution came from her landmark 2010 study, which rigorously evaluated the relationship between pad usage and patient-reported urinary quality of life using validated questionnaires. With 154 citations, this work challenged conventional definitions by demonstrating that "security pad" or "1 pad" usage does not equate to the same quality of life as being completely pad-free. Her findings provided critical evidence that "0 pads" should be the gold standard for continence after prostate cancer surgery, influencing clinical practice and postoperative counseling worldwide. Gan's research has empowered patients and surgeons alike by prioritizing the patient's own perception of recovery, making her a pivotal figure in evidence-based urologic oncology and quality of life research.
