About

Dr. Lily Martin is a leading researcher in uro-oncologic rehabilitation, with a primary focus on improving quality of life for prostate cancer survivors. Her work centers on the intersection of surgical outcomes and targeted physical therapy, particularly the role of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in mitigating post-operative urinary incontinence. In her highly cited 2023 systematic review, "Impact of exercise on continence in prostate cancer patients post robotic assisted radical prostatectomy," Dr. Martin synthesized evidence demonstrating that structured exercise protocols significantly accelerate continence recovery following robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). This work has already garnered 4 citations, establishing a critical evidence base for integrating PFMT into standard urologic care. By rigorously evaluating the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions, Dr. Martin has provided clinicians with actionable strategies to address one of the most distressing long-term side effects of prostate cancer surgery. Her research not only advances surgical rehabilitation but also empowers patients with practical tools to restore their quality of life, making her a vital voice in the evolving field of cancer survivorship and functional recovery.
