About
Evangelia Protopapa is a leading researcher in urological oncology, with a primary focus on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following surgical treatments for prostate cancer. Her work centers on understanding and quantifying the real-world functional recovery patients experience after radical prostatectomy, particularly regarding urinary continence and sexual function. In her landmark 2024 study, published in a contemporary multicentre cohort across the United Kingdom, Protopapa provided critical descriptive data on the trajectory of recovery in the first year after robotic radical prostatectomy. This work, which has already garnered 15 citations, established a benchmark for understanding the typical timeline and extent of functional impact, enabling better preoperative counseling and postoperative care. By systematically reporting PROMs, she has advanced the shift toward patient-centered outcomes in urological surgery, moving beyond traditional clinical metrics to capture what matters most to patients. Her contributions are instrumental in helping clinicians set realistic expectations and in guiding future research aimed at improving quality of life after prostate cancer treatment.
