About
Bruce L. Dalkin is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical outcomes for patients with genitourinary cancers, particularly bladder and prostate cancer. His research centers on the comparative effectiveness of robotic versus open surgical techniques, with a strong emphasis on improving outcomes for elderly and high-risk populations. Dalkin’s most cited study, a 2015 comparative analysis of robotic versus open radical cystectomy in elderly patients, demonstrated that robotic approaches can reduce perioperative morbidity without compromising oncologic control—a critical finding given that the median age of bladder cancer diagnosis is 73. This work has garnered 31 citations and highlights his commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation. He has also contributed to the discourse on nerve-sparing techniques in robotic prostatectomy, addressing functional outcomes like potency preservation. Through his investigations, Dalkin has helped shape modern urologic oncology by providing data that supports the adoption of minimally invasive surgery in vulnerable patient groups, ultimately aiming to reduce treatment-related morbidity while maintaining cancer control.
