About
Dr. Cristina Negrean is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for men with prostate cancer, with a particular focus on elderly populations and the refinement of surgical and diagnostic techniques. Her major contributions lie in the evaluation of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), where she has led studies examining both functional and oncological outcomes. Notably, her 2020 paper on perioperative outcomes in elderly men (28 citations) provides critical data supporting the safety and efficacy of RARP in this often-underrepresented group, helping to guide clinical decision-making for older patients. Dr. Negrean has also advanced the field of point-of-care diagnostics, as demonstrated by her 2021 study validating the Clarius handheld wireless ultrasound for prostate volume assessment (17 citations), a practical innovation that could streamline preoperative planning. Her work on a large Canadian RARP database, spanning a decade of surgical experience, and her external validation of the ISUP Gleason grading groups further underscore her commitment to evidence-based practice. Through these contributions, Dr. Negrean has established herself as a key voice in Canadian urologic oncology, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and real-world patient care.
