About

Agustín Hernández is a leading clinical researcher in urologic oncology, with a primary focus on prostate cancer survivorship and patient-reported outcomes. His most influential work centers on the interpretation of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26), a validated questionnaire that measures health-related quality of life after prostate cancer treatment. In his highly cited 2019 study, *Interpretation of Domain Scores on the EPIC—How Does the Domain Score Translate into Functional Outcomes?*, Hernández tackled a critical gap in the literature: the ambiguous relationship between numerical domain scores and tangible functional outcomes. By clarifying how scores correspond to real-world urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal function, his research has empowered clinicians to set more accurate patient expectations and improved shared decision-making. With 13 citations, this work has become a foundational reference for translating quality-of-life data into actionable clinical insights. Hernández’s contributions are vital for bridging the gap between research metrics and patient-centered care, making him a key figure in advancing the practical application of survivorship tools in urologic oncology.
