About
Dr. Jung Jun Kim is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes and quality of life for prostate cancer patients. His major contributions lie in identifying key predictors of post-surgical recovery and in developing culturally-adapted assessment tools. His landmark 2012 study on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), cited 37 times, established that factors like age, nerve-sparing technique, and preoperative continence are independent predictors of early urinary continence recovery within three months—a critical insight for patient counseling and surgical planning. In 2010, Dr. Kim led the development and validation of the Korean version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), a globally-recognized quality-of-life questionnaire. This work, cited 33 times, provided a standardized, culturally-sensitive instrument to measure urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal domains in Korean-speaking patients, filling a major gap in patient-reported outcomes research. By bridging surgical precision with patient-centered care, Dr. Kim’s work has directly enhanced clinical decision-making and post-treatment well-being for men with prostate cancer.
