About
Dr. Bianca Bianco is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of robotic-assisted surgery and patient-centered outcomes in prostate cancer care. Her research focuses on two critical frontiers: the implementation of next-generation robotic platforms and the rigorous validation of patient-reported outcome measures. Dr. Bianco’s landmark 2024 study on the Hugo™ RAS system—a direct competitor to the da Vinci Xi—demonstrated its safe, effective deployment in a high-volume center, marking a pivotal step toward diversifying surgical options in urology (7 citations). Complementing this technical innovation, she led the psychometric validation of the Portuguese version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP), a streamlined tool designed to capture early functional recovery after treatment. Her 2020 prospective study (4 citations) established a culturally adapted, clinically practical instrument, enabling real-time assessment of urinary and sexual function in Portuguese-speaking patients. By bridging surgical innovation with validated quality-of-life metrics, Dr. Bianco is advancing both the precision and the humanity of urologic oncology. Her work empowers surgeons to adopt new technologies while ensuring that patient voices remain central to evaluating treatment success.
