About
M. De Santis is a prominent urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular emphasis on evidence-based approaches to lymph node management and renal function preservation. Her landmark systematic review on lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy—cited 28 times—critically evaluated the benefits and harms of varying dissection extents, providing essential guidance for balancing oncologic control with surgical morbidity. This work has helped shape contemporary clinical decision-making in prostate cancer surgery. Additionally, De Santis has made significant contributions to understanding renal function after partial nephrectomy, investigating how modifiable factors such as ischemia time, excisional volume loss, and reconstructive techniques impact postoperative glomerular filtration rates. Her research bridges the gap between surgical technique and long-term patient outcomes, offering actionable insights for urologic surgeons. Through rigorous methodology and clinically relevant findings, De Santis has established herself as a key voice in urologic oncology, influencing both practice guidelines and the next generation of researchers seeking to refine surgical approaches for better patient care.
