About

Yee-Jee Jan is a urological researcher whose work centers on refining risk stratification and treatment strategies for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on active surveillance. Her most-cited study, "Pathological outcomes in men with prostate cancer who are eligible for active surveillance" (2017, 6 citations), makes a critical contribution by retrospectively analyzing adverse pathological findings in patients who met criteria for this conservative management approach. This work directly addresses the challenge of overtreatment, highlighting the potential for significant adverse surgical outcomes even in low- or very-low-risk candidates. By identifying discrepancies between clinical eligibility and actual pathological risk, Jan’s research provides essential evidence for improving patient selection and counseling. Her findings underscore the importance of balancing the benefits of avoiding unnecessary intervention against the risks of underestimating disease aggressiveness. Through this focused investigation, Jan has helped advance the conversation around personalized prostate cancer care, offering practical insights for clinicians and researchers dedicated to optimizing surveillance protocols and minimizing harm.
