About
Maciej Kwiatkowski is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving the diagnosis and surgical treatment of prostate and bladder cancers. His primary research areas include MRI-targeted prostate biopsy, tumor heterogeneity, and the learning curve for robot-assisted radical cystectomy. Kwiatkowski’s most impactful contribution is his 2021 prospective study on robotic-assisted MRI-US fusion-guided target saturation biopsy, which demonstrated that up to 70% of prostate cancer lesions exhibit intralesional tumor heterogeneity—a finding that challenges current sampling strategies and has important implications for diagnostic accuracy. This work has garnered 17 citations, underscoring its influence on clinical practice. Additionally, his 2023 retrospective evaluation of a single surgeon’s learning curve for robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion provides valuable data on the transition from open surgery, helping to guide training and adoption of this complex technique. Through these studies, Kwiatkowski has advanced the precision of prostate cancer detection and the safety of minimally invasive bladder cancer surgery, making him a notable contributor to modern urologic oncology.
