Yukiko Honda

About

Dr. Yukiko Honda is a urologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes in prostate cancer, particularly through multidisciplinary collaboration. Her most cited work investigates how preoperative multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) can reduce positive surgical margins (PSM) following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). In a 2024 study, she demonstrated that MDTMs significantly lower PSM incidence in pathological T2 prostate cancer, directly addressing a key risk factor for biochemical recurrence and cancer-specific mortality. This contribution highlights her commitment to translating team-based decision-making into measurable surgical precision. With 2 citations to date, her work is gaining recognition among clinicians seeking to optimize preoperative planning. Dr. Honda’s research bridges the gap between surgical technique and collaborative care, offering a practical pathway to improve long-term patient outcomes. Her findings underscore the value of structured multidisciplinary input in high-stakes oncologic surgery, positioning her as a rising voice in evidence-based urologic oncology.
