About
Hao G. Nguyen is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His primary research areas include intraoperative imaging, urinary continence recovery, and optimizing patient selection for focal therapies. Dr. Nguyen led the first-in-human evaluation of IS-002, a novel prostate-specific membrane antigen–targeted near-infrared fluorescent dye for robotic-assisted prostatectomy (35 citations), demonstrating its potential to enhance real-time cancer visualization during surgery. He also conducted a randomized trial showing that an autologous retropubic urethral sling fashioned from vas deferens can improve early urinary control after radical prostatectomy (23 citations). Additionally, his work on preoperative membranous urethral length (17 citations) helps predict postoperative incontinence risk, enabling better preoperative counseling. Dr. Nguyen has further clarified that residual benign glandular tissue at surgical margins does not lead to detectable PSA or biochemical recurrence (6 citations), and he continues to refine patient selection for high-intensity focused ultrasound. His contributions bridge surgical innovation with practical, patient-centered outcomes, advancing the precision and quality of prostate cancer care.
