About

John Flores is a urologic oncologist and health services researcher whose work centers on patient-reported outcomes, surgical decision-making, and health equity in prostate cancer care. His major contributions lie in prospectively evaluating quality of life among men undergoing radical prostatectomy, particularly through racially diverse, multi-institutional databases. His landmark study, "Prospective quality of life in men choosing open vs. robotic radical prostatectomy," provides long-term, real-world evidence on how surgical approach affects functional recovery and well-being, with a focus on underrepresented populations often excluded from clinical trials. Though early in its citation trajectory, this work has already shaped discussions on shared decision-making and disparities in surgical access. Flores is recognized for bridging urologic oncology with rigorous patient-centered outcomes research, and his database-driven methodology offers a model for studying treatment trade-offs across diverse cohorts. His ongoing efforts to integrate equity into surgical quality metrics position him as a rising voice in the field, committed to ensuring that prostate cancer care reflects the priorities and experiences of all patients.
