About
Jin Wei Kwek is a pioneering researcher in interventional oncology, with a primary focus on focal therapy for prostate cancer using advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions center on the clinical translation of in-bore MR-guided focused ultrasound for targeted cancer ablation, demonstrating that precise, organ-sparing treatment can achieve excellent safety profiles while preserving urinary and sexual function. His landmark Phase I trial, with two-year follow-up data, reported in a highly cited 2017 paper (50 citations), established foundational evidence for this approach, showing minimal complications and robust functional outcomes. This work has been instrumental in shifting the paradigm from whole-gland treatment toward personalized, focal therapy, reducing overtreatment and improving quality of life for men with localized prostate cancer. Kwek’s research continues to influence clinical guidelines and inspire further trials, underscoring his role as a key figure in the evolution of image-guided, targeted cancer therapies.
