About
Philippe E. Spiess is a distinguished urologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the management of genitourinary cancers, with particular expertise in penile cancer, upper tract urothelial carcinoma, and renal malignancies. Based at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa, Florida, Spiess has built a reputation for advancing both surgical technique and oncological outcomes across a spectrum of complex urological conditions. His most-cited work on penile cancer management, which has garnered over 100 citations, reflects his standing as a leading authority on this rare and challenging malignancy. He has pioneered minimally invasive approaches throughout his career, contributing landmark studies on robotic-assisted cystectomy, urachal resection, and inguinal lymph node dissection — helping to refine staging procedures for high-risk penile carcinoma patients. His prospective clinical trial examining retroperitoneal lymph node dissection during nephroureterectomy represented a first-of-its-kind contribution to upper tract urothelial carcinoma care. Spiess has also demonstrated breadth beyond the operating room, contributing to chemoprevention research in prostate cancer and nephron-sparing strategies for small renal masses. With a consistently cited body of work spanning over a decade, his contributions continue to inform clinical practice and guide the next generation of urologic oncologists.
