About
Clare E. Collins is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with bladder cancer, particularly through the comparative evaluation of robot-assisted and open radical cystectomy. Her landmark work, published in *JAMA* in 2022, demonstrated that robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion does not significantly reduce 90-day morbidity or mortality compared to open surgery—a finding that has garnered over 320 citations and reshaped clinical decision-making. Collins further advanced the field with a 2023 cost-effectiveness analysis, showing that while robotic surgery offers comparable clinical outcomes, its higher costs raise important questions about value-based care. Her contributions provide critical evidence for surgeons and policymakers navigating the adoption of expensive surgical technologies. With a career dedicated to rigorous comparative effectiveness research, Collins has become a key voice in urologic oncology, helping to balance innovation with practical, patient-centered outcomes. Her work continues to influence surgical guidelines and healthcare resource allocation in bladder cancer treatment.
