About
Nicholas R. Boileau is a leading voice in urologic oncology and patient-reported outcomes research, with a focus on improving quality of life for men undergoing prostate cancer treatment. His work centers on validating and implementing patient-centered measurement tools, particularly within the PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) framework. In his highly cited 2019 study, Boileau demonstrated the validity of PROMIS Sexual Interest and Satisfaction measures in men following radical prostatectomy—a critical contribution that moved the field beyond simply tracking erectile function to capturing the broader, more nuanced dimensions of sexual health. This work has been cited 18 times, reflecting its importance in reshaping how clinicians assess recovery and well-being after surgery. By rigorously testing these single-item measures, Boileau has provided researchers and clinicians with practical, reliable tools for routine clinical use, enabling more holistic and patient-centered care. His research continues to bridge the gap between rigorous psychometric validation and real-world clinical application, making him a key figure in the effort to ensure that the patient’s voice is heard in the evaluation of cancer treatment outcomes.
