About

Tracey Hong is a clinical researcher whose work centers on improving surgical risk assessment and outcomes in urologic oncology. Her most-cited study, "Predicting complications following radical cystectomy with the ACS NSQIP universal surgical risk calculator," demonstrates her focus on translating large-scale surgical databases into practical tools for patient care. By evaluating the accuracy of the NSQIP risk calculator in predicting complications after radical cystectomy—a high-risk procedure for bladder cancer—Hong has contributed to evidence-based preoperative counseling and decision-making. This work, which has garnered 19 citations, highlights her commitment to enhancing surgical safety and reducing postoperative morbidity. Hong’s research bridges the gap between population-level data and individualized patient risk, offering clinicians a validated framework for anticipating outcomes. Her contributions are particularly valuable in the context of complex oncologic surgeries, where precise risk stratification can significantly impact treatment planning and patient quality of life. As a researcher, Hong exemplifies the integration of clinical data analytics with practical surgical care, advancing the field of urologic oncology toward more personalized and safer interventions.
