About
Francesca DiQuilio is a surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on the intersection of urologic oncology and transplantation, with a particular emphasis on prostate cancer management in immunocompromised populations. Her landmark multicenter study, "Radical Prostatectomy in Kidney Transplant Recipients—A Multicenter Experience" (2024), represents a critical advancement in understanding surgical outcomes for prostate cancer in kidney transplant recipients—a growing clinical challenge as the transplant population ages. This work, which has already garnered citations, systematically evaluates the feasibility and safety of radical prostatectomy in this unique cohort, providing evidence-based guidance for urologists and transplant surgeons navigating the complexities of oncologic surgery in immunosuppressed patients. DiQuilio’s contributions are particularly impactful given the projected increase in genitourinary cancers among aging transplant recipients, positioning her research as foundational for future clinical protocols. Her work bridges the gap between transplant medicine and urologic oncology, addressing an underserved area with significant implications for patient survival and quality of life. As a rising voice in this niche but vital field, DiQuilio is shaping how the medical community approaches cancer treatment in transplant populations.
