About
Francesco Soria is a leading urologic oncologist whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for bladder and upper tract urothelial carcinomas. His major contributions lie in comparative effectiveness research, systematically evaluating robotic-assisted versus open surgical approaches. Through landmark multicenter collaborations, Soria has demonstrated that robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) offers comparable oncologic safety to open surgery while potentially improving perioperative outcomes, with his 2019 study on international trends in RARC adoption accumulating 82 citations. He has also pioneered the concept of surgical quality metrics, proposing the "Radical Nephroureterectomy Tetrafecta" as a standardized reporting framework. Soria's work on frailty's impact on postoperative complications (50 citations) has helped identify high-risk patients who may benefit from enhanced recovery protocols. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he provided critical insights into how healthcare disruptions affected uro-oncological outcomes and residency training. With over 300 total citations across his most-cited works, Soria's evidence-based approach continues to shape clinical decision-making and surgical standards in urologic oncology.
