Marianne Chan

About

Marianne Chan is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after prostate cancer surgery, particularly in the domains of continence recovery and pelvic floor health. Her most-cited study, "Using Preoperative Pelvic Floor Assessment to Predict Early Return of Continence after Robotic Radical Prostatectomy" (2021), has garnered 5 citations and represents a key contribution to personalized surgical care. In this work, Chan demonstrates how preoperative pelvic floor evaluation can identify patients likely to achieve early continence following robotic radical prostatectomy, offering a practical tool for preoperative counseling and tailored rehabilitation. Her research bridges the gap between surgical technique and patient-reported outcomes, emphasizing the importance of baseline pelvic floor function in postoperative recovery. Chan’s work has implications for reducing the burden of urinary incontinence, a common and distressing side effect of prostate cancer treatment. By integrating preoperative assessment into standard practice, she advances a more patient-centered approach to urologic oncology. Her contributions are particularly valuable for surgeons and rehabilitation specialists seeking evidence-based strategies to enhance quality of life after radical prostatectomy.
