About
Eiji Kikuchi is a leading urological oncologist whose work has shaped the modern management of bladder cancer and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). As a central figure in the Japanese Urological Association, he spearheaded the influential 2019 Clinical Practice Guidelines for Bladder Cancer, a key resource that has garnered 37 citations for standardizing care. His landmark multicenter, multinational study comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic radical nephroureterectomy (30 citations) provided critical, propensity-score-matched evidence on survival and perioperative outcomes for UTUC, helping to guide surgical decision-making globally. Kikuchi has also been instrumental in advancing surgical safety through real-world analyses using Japan’s National Clinical Database, including a 2025 study on robot-assisted radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. His contributions extend to quality-of-life issues, with early work on erectile dysfunction management after prostate cancer treatment. With over 1,500 publications and an h-index exceeding 50, Kikuchi’s research bridges evidence-based guidelines, innovative surgical techniques, and patient-centered outcomes, making him a pivotal voice in urologic oncology.
