About
Dr. Joanne Dean is a leading clinical researcher in urologic oncology, with a primary focus on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer. Her work centers on understanding the clinical significance of positive surgical margins (PSMs) following radical prostatectomy, a critical area that directly influences patient prognosis and the need for secondary therapies. In her landmark 2013 study, published in a major urology journal and cited 49 times, Dr. Dean analyzed data from nearly 2,400 patients in the Prostate Cancer Registry to characterize the rate and contributing factors of PSMs. Her findings provided essential evidence on how margin status impacts subsequent treatment decisions, offering surgeons and oncologists a clearer framework for post-operative management. This work has been instrumental in refining surgical techniques and counseling patients on their risk of recurrence. By bridging the gap between surgical pathology and clinical decision-making, Dr. Dean’s research has helped shape modern standards of care for localized prostate cancer, making her a respected voice in the field of surgical oncology.
