About
Marco Silvaggi is a researcher whose work centers on the psychosocial and relational dimensions of urological oncology, with a particular focus on the quality of life of prostate cancer survivors. His key research areas include post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPUI), sexual dysfunction, and dyadic adjustment—the psychological and emotional adaptation of couples facing illness. In his 2024 cross-sectional study, Silvaggi investigated the intricate relationship between PPUI, erectile dysfunction, and couple dynamics following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This work highlights a critical, often overlooked aspect of cancer survivorship: how treatment side effects can strain intimate partnerships. By demonstrating that urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are not merely individual burdens but also affect dyadic coping, Silvaggi has contributed to a more holistic understanding of post-surgical recovery. His research, though early in its citation impact, addresses a pressing clinical need for integrated psychosocial support in urological care. Silvaggi’s work is particularly valuable for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve patient-centered outcomes beyond mere surgical success, emphasizing the importance of relational health in cancer survivorship.
