About
Dr. J.M. Abascal Junquera is a leading figure in urologic oncology, with a focused expertise in the application of nuclear medicine techniques for minimally invasive cancer surgery. His most significant contribution lies in advancing sentinel lymph node dissection for prostate cancer, a critical procedure for staging and treatment planning. Dr. Abascal Junquera spearheaded a pivotal multicentre clinical trial evaluating a novel drop-in gamma probe, demonstrating its feasibility and accuracy for real-time, laparoscopic detection of sentinel nodes. This work, published in 2023 and already garnering 6 citations, directly addresses a key challenge in prostate cancer surgery: improving the precision of nodal staging while reducing invasiveness. Beyond this landmark study, his broader research portfolio encompasses the optimization of radioguided surgery and the integration of hybrid imaging modalities to enhance oncological outcomes. Dr. Abascal Junquera’s work is instrumental in bridging the gap between diagnostic nuclear medicine and surgical intervention, offering patients more targeted and less morbid treatments. His ongoing investigations continue to shape the future of precision surgery in urologic malignancies.
