About
Dr. Jong Kyou Kwon is a urologic oncologist whose research focuses on refining risk stratification and surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly in high-risk and locally advanced disease. His major contributions center on improving the precision of radical prostatectomy—both open and robot-assisted—by identifying clinical and pathological predictors of disease progression. In his most cited work (2014), he critically assessed the role of radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer, challenging the historical preference for multimodal therapy. He further advanced the field by demonstrating that anterior and lateral extraprostatic extensions are associated with positive surgical margins at the prostatic base (2016), offering actionable insights for surgical technique. Dr. Kwon also developed predictive models for organ-confined disease in clinically locally-advanced prostate cancer (2017), helping to identify patients who may be cured by surgery alone. His work on the CAPRA score (2018) highlighted its utility in discriminating favorable from unfavorable intermediate-risk disease. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 30, Dr. Kwon’s research has directly informed clinical decision-making in prostate cancer surgery. His most recent investigation into peri-seminal vesicle soft-tissue invasion (2025) promises to further refine pathological staging and prognostic accuracy.
