About
Alice Crane is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical and perioperative outcomes for patients with bladder cancer. Her most impactful work centers on comparing open radical cystectomy with robot-assisted approaches, particularly examining the differences between intracorporeal and extracorporeal urinary diversion techniques. In her landmark 2019 study, which has garnered 85 citations, Crane provided one of the largest single-institution comparisons of perioperative outcomes across these three surgical approaches, offering crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. She has also made significant contributions to understanding uretero-enteric anastomotic stricture rates following different cystectomy techniques (41 citations) and, in a highly cited 2013 study (34 citations), shed light on the critical issue of chemotherapy avoidance, refusal, and abandonment before and after cystectomy. Her work on neoadjuvant chemotherapy delays and their impact on survival has further advanced clinical practice. Crane’s research has been instrumental in guiding surgeons toward evidence-based choices in robotic cystectomy, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life in bladder cancer care.
