About

Won Jin Cho is a distinguished urological researcher whose work centers on prostate cancer pathology and surgical outcomes. His major contributions lie in elucidating the clinical significance of surgical resection margins following radical prostatectomy, a critical factor in predicting disease recurrence and patient prognosis. Cho’s landmark meta-analysis, “Clinicopathological Significances of Positive Surgical Resection Margin after Radical Prostatectomy for Prostatic Cancers,” synthesized data from 59 studies to clarify the positive margin rate and its correlation with adverse pathological features. This work, garnering 21 citations, has provided surgeons and pathologists with evidence-based benchmarks for assessing surgical quality and counseling patients. By systematically analyzing a vast body of literature, Cho has helped standardize the interpretation of margin status, directly impacting clinical decision-making in prostate cancer management. His research is particularly valuable for trainees and clinicians seeking to understand the nuanced relationship between surgical technique and oncologic control. Through rigorous meta-analytic methods, Cho has advanced the field’s understanding of how positive margins influence long-term outcomes, making his work an essential reference for urologic oncology.
