About
Anne Calvaresi is a urological researcher whose work has made meaningful contributions to the field of prostate cancer surgery, particularly in the context of radical prostatectomy outcomes. Her research focuses on identifying the clinical and pathological factors that influence surgical success and long-term patient prognosis following prostate cancer treatment. Calvaresi's most impactful work examines the predictors of biochemical recurrence (BCR) and positive surgical margins (PSM) in patients undergoing both open and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Her 2015 study on risk factors for biochemical recurrence following robotic-assisted procedures, which has garnered 19 citations, helped clarify the role of margin status as an independent predictor of post-surgical outcomes — an area that remained contested in the literature. Complementing this, her 2014 investigation into predictors of positive surgical margins, drawing on a substantial institutional dataset of over 1,700 patients, shed important light on how surgeon variability and technique influence incidence and location of PSM, accumulating 13 citations. Together, her contributions offer valuable guidance for urological surgeons seeking to optimize operative technique and improve oncological outcomes for patients with localized prostate cancer.
