About
Ho Lam Poon is a health economist and outcomes researcher whose work focuses on the cost-effectiveness of surgical innovations in oncology, particularly urological cancers. Poon’s major contributions lie in applying rigorous health technology assessment methods to guide clinical decision-making and resource allocation. Their most cited study, a cost-utility analysis comparing robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) to open radical cystectomy (ORC) for bladder cancer in the UK, demonstrated that while RARC offers potential benefits in reducing complications and mortality, its higher upfront costs require careful evaluation against long-term patient outcomes and quality of life. This work, cited 6 times, has informed debates on the adoption of robotic surgery within publicly funded healthcare systems. Poon’s research bridges clinical practice and health policy, providing evidence that helps hospitals and insurers prioritize interventions that offer the best value. Their contributions are particularly notable for integrating patient-reported outcomes and economic modeling, making them a key voice in the growing field of value-based cancer care.
