About
Lorenzo Tosco is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of prostate cancer, with a particular focus on high-risk disease and the comparative effectiveness of open versus robotic radical prostatectomy. His major contributions include advancing the understanding of surgical outcomes for high-risk prostate cancer patients, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2013 review (28 citations), which helped shift the paradigm toward more aggressive surgical intervention in this challenging population. Tosco has also made significant strides in personalized medicine through the development and external validation of predictive nomograms—one for adverse pathological characteristics after robotic prostatectomy (11 citations) and another for lymph node invasion following robot-assisted surgery (6 citations). These tools, derived from a prospective, multi-institutional nationwide series, provide clinicians with evidence-based risk stratification to guide treatment decisions. His 2018 comparative analysis of open and robotic techniques (25 citations) remains a key reference in the ongoing debate over surgical approaches. Through his blend of clinical expertise and rigorous outcomes research, Tosco has shaped modern prostate cancer surgery, offering patients and surgeons alike clearer pathways to optimal care.
