About
Katerina Cascetta is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on the surgical management of recurrent prostate cancer, particularly through minimally invasive techniques. Her most impactful work centers on robotic salvage lymph node dissection (sLND), a rescue treatment for patients experiencing nodal recurrence after radical prostatectomy. In her landmark 2021 study analyzing 68 cases, Cascetta provided critical insights into perioperative and oncological outcomes, establishing best practices for this challenging procedure. The paper, which has garnered 8 citations, offers a comprehensive roadmap for clinical management, detailing patient selection criteria, surgical techniques, and prognostic factors. Cascetta’s contributions have helped refine the role of robotic sLND in the treatment algorithm for recurrent prostate cancer, demonstrating its feasibility and potential benefits while highlighting areas for future investigation. Her work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and practical clinical application, providing urologists with evidence-based guidance for managing this complex patient population. Through her meticulous analysis and clear clinical recommendations, Cascetta has advanced the field of salvage surgery, offering renewed hope for patients with limited treatment options.
