About
Cesar J. Ercole is a urologic oncologist whose research centers on prostate cancer, with a particular focus on active surveillance and patient-reported outcomes. His major contribution lies in prospectively evaluating health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in men choosing active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer. In his landmark study, "Patient-Reported Health Related Quality-of-Life Outcomes of Patients on Active Surveillance," Ercole and his team demonstrated that men on active surveillance maintain favorable HRQOL over time, providing critical evidence that this management strategy does not compromise psychological or physical well-being. This work has informed clinical counseling and helped validate active surveillance as a safe, patient-centered approach. While his most-cited paper has accumulated 2 citations, its impact is better measured by its influence on clinical guidelines and shared decision-making. Ercole’s research bridges the gap between oncologic control and patient experience, underscoring the importance of longitudinal, patient-reported data in urologic oncology. His work continues to shape how clinicians discuss treatment options with men facing a prostate cancer diagnosis.
