About
Dr. B. Gaillac is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive treatments for prostate cancer, particularly through the integration of vascular targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) with established surgical interventions. In their most cited work, a 2018 study with 26 citations, Dr. Gaillac investigated the feasibility and outcomes of radical prostatectomy following VTP with padeliporfin (TOOKAD®). This landmark contribution provided critical early evidence that VTP does not preclude subsequent surgery, demonstrating that patients can safely undergo radical prostatectomy after this novel therapy while maintaining acceptable functional and oncologic results. By systematically evaluating the surgical challenges and postoperative recovery in this patient population, Dr. Gaillac helped bridge the gap between emerging photodynamic techniques and traditional surgical management. Their work has been instrumental in expanding treatment options for localized prostate cancer, offering patients a potential pathway to less invasive initial therapy without compromising future surgical candidacy. This research continues to inform clinical decision-making and patient counseling in the evolving landscape of prostate cancer care.
