About
Hiroshi Nanjo is a prominent urologic oncologist whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His most cited work, a 2018 single-institutional analysis of positive surgical margins across open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, has garnered 38 citations and remains a key reference in the field. Nanjo’s major contribution lies in systematically comparing these three surgical approaches to identify the incidence and anatomical locations of positive margins—a critical factor in predicting biochemical recurrence and guiding adjuvant therapy. By demonstrating how surgical technique influences margin status, his research has helped refine operative strategies and patient counseling. Beyond this landmark study, Nanjo’s broader work encompasses minimally invasive surgery, oncologic outcomes, and quality-of-life measures after prostate cancer treatment. His findings have been instrumental in advancing the adoption of robot-assisted techniques while highlighting persistent challenges in achieving complete tumor resection. For students and researchers, Nanjo’s scholarship offers a rigorous, data-driven perspective on the trade-offs between surgical approaches, making him a respected voice in the ongoing effort to improve prostate cancer care through evidence-based surgical practice.
