About
Dr. Karren Liang is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes for men with prostate cancer, particularly in vulnerable and aging populations. Her research centers on the intersection of surgical innovation, hormonal physiology, and geriatric oncology. Dr. Liang’s major contributions include providing critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in octogenarian men, demonstrating that advanced age alone should not preclude patients from receiving curative surgical treatment. Her landmark study on this topic, which has garnered 12 citations, is among the most-cited works in the field of geriatric urologic oncology. Additionally, Dr. Liang has advanced the understanding of prostate cancer biology by investigating the role of total and free testosterone levels in disease aggressiveness and recurrence. Her work on integrating testosterone profiling into clinical management, cited 5 times, offers a more nuanced, personalized approach to risk stratification. Through these contributions, Dr. Liang is shaping a more inclusive and biologically-informed standard of care for prostate cancer patients.
