About

Mia Hashibe’s research centers on health-related quality of life and surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, with a focus on translating clinical metrics into meaningful patient experiences. Her major contributions include clarifying how domain scores from the validated EPIC-26 questionnaire relate to real-world functional outcomes, helping patients and clinicians set realistic post-treatment expectations. This work, published in 2019 with 13 citations, addresses a critical gap in understanding the practical implications of quality-of-life assessments. Additionally, Hashibe led the CEASAR study’s evaluation of surgical care quality for localized prostate cancer, demonstrating that nationally endorsed quality measures often fail to correlate with patient outcomes. Her 2020 study, with 7 citations, used a prospective, population-based cohort to reveal significant variation in structure, process, and outcome measures among men undergoing radical prostatectomy. By highlighting these discrepancies, Hashibe’s research advocates for more outcome-linked quality standards in urologic oncology. Her work is notable for bridging the gap between standardized instruments and patient-centered care, offering actionable insights for improving prostate cancer treatment and follow-up.
