About
Christos Panayi is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of urologic oncology and advanced imaging. His primary research focus is on improving the pre-operative staging of prostate cancer, specifically using multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) to predict extra-prostatic extension (EPE)—a key factor in surgical planning for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His most cited work, a 2022 study with 30 citations, provides compelling evidence that a negative mpMRI can reliably rule out EPE on a side-specific basis, challenging lingering controversies about the modality’s accuracy. By applying a risk-stratified 5-point Likert scale, Panayi’s research offers a practical, reproducible tool that helps surgeons avoid unnecessary nerve-sparing compromises or overly aggressive resections. This contribution directly impacts patient outcomes by refining surgical precision and reducing post-operative complications. His findings are increasingly cited in guidelines and meta-analyses, underscoring their translational value. Panayi’s work exemplifies how rigorous, clinically focused imaging research can bridge the gap between radiology and operative decision-making, making him a notable voice in the ongoing effort to personalize prostate cancer care.
