About
Joshua M. Kuperus is a urologic researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes in prostate cancer treatment, with particular emphasis on surgical complications and risk stratification. His most impactful study, with 19 citations, documents a rare but serious rectourethral fistula following SpaceOAR gel placement for prostate radiotherapy, providing critical safety data for this increasingly common spacer technique. This work has become essential reading for radiation oncologists and urologists weighing the benefits and risks of hydrogel spacers. Kuperus also contributed to a statewide quality improvement consortium study examining pelvic lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy for intermediate-risk prostate cancer, analyzing nodal metastasis patterns across multiple institutions to refine surgical decision-making. His research bridges the gap between clinical practice and evidence-based guidelines, offering practical insights for managing both common procedures and their rare complications. Through detailed case documentation and multi-institutional collaboration, Kuperus has helped advance the safety and precision of prostate cancer care.
