About

Dr. Xiaohao Ruan is a leading urological oncologist whose research focuses on the surgical management and long-term outcomes of prostate cancer, particularly within the Chinese population. His major contribution lies in addressing the critical gap in understanding the prognosis of localized prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy in Asian cohorts. In his landmark 20-year single-institution series, Dr. Ruan and his team conducted a comprehensive retrospective analysis of patients treated from 1998 to 2018, providing the first large-scale, long-term survival data for Chinese patients undergoing this procedure. This work, which has garnered early citations, elucidates the prognostic value of pathological and surgical variables specific to this demographic, challenging the reliance on predominantly Western data. By establishing a robust evidence base for surgical outcomes in China, Dr. Ruan’s research directly informs clinical decision-making and risk stratification for urologists and patients alike. His dedication to longitudinal, real-world evidence continues to shape the landscape of prostate cancer care in Asia, making his contributions invaluable to the global urological community.
