About
Aude Canale is a leading researcher in urological oncology and sexual medicine, with a focused expertise in post-prostatectomy rehabilitation. Her work centers on improving quality of life for prostate cancer survivors, particularly through innovative approaches to erectile dysfunction treatment following nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (NSRP). Her most-cited study, "Sexual Rehabilitation After Nerve-Sparing Radical Prostatectomy: Free-of-Charge Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitor Administration Improves Compliance to Treatment" (2018, 8 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. This research, conducted within the pioneering Tuscan healthcare system that authorized free PDE5 inhibitors for NSRP patients, demonstrated that removing financial barriers dramatically improves treatment compliance and sexual rehabilitation outcomes. Canale's work bridges the critical gap between clinical efficacy and real-world patient adherence, offering practical solutions that have influenced urological practice guidelines. Her findings underscore the importance of healthcare policy in optimizing post-surgical recovery, making her a key voice in the intersection of clinical urology, sexual medicine, and health economics.
