About
E. Geist is a leading urological researcher whose work focuses on patient-reported outcomes and treatment decision-making in prostate cancer care. Their most impactful contribution, the multicenter cross-sectional IMPROVE study (2022), fundamentally examines how surgical approach influences patients' long-term psychological adjustment after radical prostatectomy. This landmark investigation, cited 9 times, revealed that patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) expressed significantly less regret about their treatment choice compared to those who had open surgery. By centering patient regret as a critical endpoint—rather than traditional metrics like cancer control alone—Geist has pioneered a more holistic evaluation of surgical success. This work directly informs clinical counseling, helping surgeons discuss not just oncological outcomes but also patients' emotional well-being post-treatment. Geist’s research bridges the gap between technical surgical innovation and human-centered care, demonstrating that the method of prostate removal can profoundly shape a patient’s quality of life and satisfaction years after surgery. Their findings continue to influence urological practice guidelines and shared decision-making protocols worldwide.
