About

Andre Joshi is a leading urologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the modern surgical management of prostate cancer. His work centers on optimizing radical prostatectomy outcomes, critically evaluating the impact of robotic-assisted surgery, and analyzing national treatment patterns. Joshi’s landmark paper, “Open retropubic radical prostatectomy” (2020, 14 citations), provides a definitive technical guide for this procedure, emphasizing its continued relevance and the importance of achieving optimal oncologic and functional results. He further demonstrated his impact on surgical practice through his highly cited study, “Declining use of radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy despite more robotics” (2019, 13 citations), which analyzed 15 years of national Medicare data. This pivotal work revealed a paradoxical trend: while robotic techniques have become more prevalent, the overall utilization of radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy has decreased. By highlighting this disconnect, Joshi’s research has prompted critical reassessments of surgical decision-making and resource allocation in prostate cancer care, cementing his reputation as a data-driven voice in the field.
