About
Dr. Leandro Blas is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly through robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions center on balancing oncologic control with functional preservation. Notably, his work on nerve-sparing techniques demonstrated that while nerve sparing improves quality of life, it does not significantly increase positive surgical margins or biochemical recurrence risk—a finding cited 12 times. He has also advanced postoperative care by validating predictive models for lymph node involvement and extracapsular extension, achieving 9 and 7 citations respectively, and by developing a novel nomogram for biochemical recurrence-free survival. Dr. Blas’s research on extended pelvic lymph node dissection and urinary incontinence recovery has informed clinical guidelines, while his work on lateral pelvic fascia preservation (5 citations) offers a refined approach to continence recovery. Additionally, he has explored salvage RARP after carbon ion radiotherapy, showcasing his expertise in complex, high-risk cases. With over 50 cumulative citations, Dr. Blas’s work directly impacts surgical decision-making and patient outcomes, making him a key contributor to evidence-based urologic oncology.
