About
Dr. Masaharu Kan is a Japanese urologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with urologic cancers, particularly bladder and prostate cancer. His research centers on the comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and radical prostatectomy, especially in older and vulnerable patient populations. A major contribution is his 2022 propensity score matching study comparing intracorporeal ileal conduit versus cutaneous ureterostomy for older patients undergoing RARC, which provides critical evidence for tailoring urinary diversion strategies to reduce perioperative complications. This work has garnered 14 citations, reflecting its clinical relevance. Dr. Kan also leads large-scale epidemiological analyses, including a 2023 study using the Medical Investigation Cancer Network (MICAN) database to map radical prostatectomy trends across Ehime, Japan, from 2010 to 2020. This multi-center retrospective cohort work, cited 4 times, offers valuable insights into evolving surgical practice patterns. Through his integration of advanced surgical data and population-level analysis, Dr. Kan is helping to shape safer, more personalized surgical care for aging cancer patients.
