About

Dr. Kwang Suk Lee is a leading urologic oncologist whose research has significantly advanced the understanding and treatment of urologic cancers, with a particular focus on prostate cancer and robotic surgery. His work has garnered over 50 citations, with his landmark study on "Urologic cancers in Korea" (22 citations) providing crucial epidemiological insights into the rising incidence and improved survival rates of prostate and kidney cancers in the region. Dr. Lee is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), where he developed the innovative "plugging method" to prevent postoperative inguinal hernias—a common complication—demonstrated in his highly cited 2017 study (13 citations). His research has also established time to disease recurrence as a critical predictor of metastasis and mortality in high-risk prostate cancer patients, and he has explored the potential survival benefits of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors following radical prostatectomy. Through his work on nephrometry scores for robotic partial nephrectomy and his comprehensive analyses of treatment outcomes, Dr. Lee continues to shape clinical practice and improve patient care in urologic oncology.
