About
Dr. Shern Chew is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of urologic oncology and surgical innovation, with a specialized focus on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer. His most impactful work centers on the development and clinical validation of novel image-guided surgical systems that bridge the gap between preoperative imaging and intraoperative decision-making. In his landmark Phase I study—a tablet-based image-guided system for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—Dr. Chew demonstrated how real-time integration of 3D anatomical data can enhance surgical precision during the most common procedure for localized prostate cancer. This work, cited 10 times, represents a critical step toward personalized, data-driven surgery. By translating complex imaging into actionable, real-time guidance, Dr. Chew’s contributions are helping to reduce positive surgical margins and improve functional outcomes. His research sits at the intersection of biomedical engineering and clinical practice, offering a tangible pathway to smarter, safer cancer surgery. As a clinician-scientist, Dr. Chew is shaping the next generation of urologic oncology by making image-guided robotics a practical reality in the operating room.
