About
Farehin Khan is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in bladder cancer, particularly through the use of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RAC). Her work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of recurrence patterns and surgical safety in high-risk patient populations. In a landmark study analyzing 310 patients, Khan provided the first detailed characterization of local, distant, and atypical recurrences—such as peritoneal carcinomatosis and extrapelvic lymph node metastases—after RAC, identifying key predictors that now guide postoperative surveillance. This highly cited work (47 citations) has become essential reading for surgeons managing complex bladder cancer cases. Khan also pioneered research into the safety of RAC in patients with a history of pelvic irradiation, demonstrating through a comparative analysis of 252 patients that the procedure can be performed without significantly increased perioperative complications. This finding has expanded surgical options for previously irradiated patients, a traditionally challenging cohort. Her contributions have directly influenced clinical guidelines and surgical decision-making, establishing her as a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
