About
C. Ferrer is a leading health outcomes researcher whose work centers on comparative effectiveness research in oncology, with a particular focus on prostate cancer treatment and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Her most cited study, "Comparative effectiveness of new treatment modalities for localized prostate cancer through patient-reported outcome measures" (2023, 4 citations), addresses a critical gap in the field by systematically comparing the impact of active surveillance, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and intensity-modulated radiotherapy on patients' quality of life. This work is notable for its rigorous methodological approach to evaluating modern treatment modalities through the lens of patient experience, providing clinicians and patients with evidence-based insights for shared decision-making. Ferrer's research has significant implications for personalized cancer care, as it moves beyond traditional clinical endpoints to incorporate the patient's voice into treatment evaluation. Her contributions are particularly valuable in an era of rapidly evolving surgical and radiation technologies, where comparative data on patient-reported outcomes remain scarce. Through her scholarship, Ferrer is helping to shape a more patient-centered approach to prostate cancer management, ensuring that treatment decisions are informed by both clinical efficacy and the real-world experiences of those undergoing therapy.
