About
Dr. J. Iizuka is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on the intersection of prostate cancer management and renal transplantation. His work addresses the critical challenge of treating localized prostate cancer in immunocompromised patients, particularly renal transplant recipients. Dr. Iizuka’s most influential study, "Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy for Localized Prostate Cancer in Asian Renal Transplant Recipients" (2016, 17 citations), established the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive robotic surgery in this complex patient population, offering a pathway to preserve graft function while achieving oncologic control. He further expanded this work with a larger single-center series of 13 cases (2018, 10 citations), providing robust evidence for surgical outcomes in transplant recipients. Additionally, his follow-up survey on donor candidates with prostate cancer (2018, 3 citations) addresses ethical and clinical nuances in living kidney donation. With a cumulative impact of 30 citations, Dr. Iizuka’s contributions are vital for transplant surgeons and urologists navigating the delicate balance between cancer treatment and organ preservation, making him a key voice in transplant oncology.
