About
Dr. Jason Frankel is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes and patient quality of life in prostate cancer care, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions include pioneering the use of the Caprini score—a venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment tool—specifically in the context of robotic prostate surgery. Through his most cited work (2020, 11 citations), Dr. Frankel demonstrated that the Caprini score is an independent predictor of VTE after RARP and identified clinical cut-points to guide prophylactic strategies, directly enhancing perioperative safety. He has also advanced patient-centered care by leading a prospective, multi-institutional, racially diverse study comparing long-term quality-of-life outcomes between open and robotic prostatectomy (2022). Additionally, his cost-effectiveness research challenges routine preoperative blood typing, advocating for resource stewardship without compromising safety. With a growing citation impact and a focus on evidence-based, personalized surgical protocols, Dr. Frankel is shaping modern urologic oncology—balancing technical innovation with practical, patient-driven improvements.
