About
Dr. A. De Pascale is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher specializing in the integration of advanced imaging and robotics for prostate cancer management. Their work centers on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and hyper-accuracy three-dimensional (HA3D™) reconstruction to enhance surgical precision and diagnostic accuracy. De Pascale’s most impactful contribution is the pioneering use of augmented-reality robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (AR-RARP), where HA3D™ models are superimposed onto the surgical field—a study cited over 100 times that demonstrated improved pathological outcomes. They also showed that MRI/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy significantly improves agreement between biopsy and surgical Gleason scores (49 citations), a key advance for treatment planning. Further work refined the role of mpMRI in selecting candidates for active surveillance and in predicting capsular invasion, helping to avoid unnecessary pelvic lymph node dissections. With over 175 cumulative citations, De Pascale’s research directly translates imaging innovations into more precise, less invasive prostate cancer care, setting new standards for personalized surgical oncology.
