About
Marcelo Barboza is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on the intersection of oncologic surgery and advanced imaging technologies. His primary research focuses on penile cancer management, specifically refining surgical techniques to improve oncologic outcomes while preserving function and quality of life. Barboza’s most notable contribution is the development of a combined partial penectomy with bilateral robotic inguinal lymphadenectomy, guided by near-infrared fluorescence imaging—a procedure that enhances precision in lymph node dissection and reduces morbidity. This landmark 2017 paper, with 15 citations, exemplifies his commitment to integrating robotic platforms and intraoperative imaging to push the boundaries of minimally invasive urologic oncology. Beyond this, Barboza has advanced the use of indocyanine green (ICG) for sentinel lymph node mapping in penile cancer, offering a more targeted approach to staging. His work has been recognized for its translational impact, bridging surgical innovation with real-world patient care. For students and researchers, Barboza’s career demonstrates how combining technical skill with emerging technologies can reshape treatment paradigms in rare but aggressive cancers.
