About
Viraj A. Master is a urologic oncologist and surgeon-scientist whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and surgical management of penile cancer and inguinal lymph node disease. His most-cited contribution, a 2017 paper on contemporary management of penile cancer with lymph node metastasis (101 citations), established him as a leading voice in this rare but challenging malignancy. Master has been particularly instrumental in championing minimally invasive approaches to inguinal lymph node dissection, a procedure historically burdened by high complication rates — a theme woven throughout multiple publications spanning 2018 to 2023. His 2013 prospective study on preoperative frailty assessment (55 citations) reflects a broader commitment to improving surgical decision-making by quantifying patient physiologic reserve before minimally invasive procedures. Master has also examined healthcare equity, investigating how race, insurance coverage, and access to technology influence treatment outcomes in high-risk prostate cancer. Collectively, his body of work — spanning surgical technique, oncologic outcomes, and health disparities — has shaped modern uro-oncologic practice and offers students and clinicians both technical guidance and a framework for patient-centered surgical care.
