About
Dr. Luca Borah is a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the intersection of urologic oncology and gender-affirming care. His work focuses on developing and refining surgical approaches for prostate cancer in transgender women, a historically underserved population. In his landmark 2024 case report, “Prostatectomy after gender-affirming vaginoplasty for a transgender woman with prostate cancer,” Dr. Borah detailed the first robotic radical prostatectomy performed on a 75-year-old transgender woman 18 months post-vaginoplasty. This case demonstrated the feasibility of preserving neovaginal integrity while achieving oncologic control, establishing a critical surgical framework for this patient group. Though early in its citation history, the work has already shaped clinical guidelines and sparked dialogue on inclusive cancer care. Dr. Borah’s contributions extend beyond the operating room; he is a vocal advocate for transgender health equity, regularly lecturing on the unique anatomical and psychosocial considerations of prostate cancer treatment in transgender patients. His research continues to break barriers, ensuring that surgical innovation keeps pace with the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
