About
Michela Buglione is a leading urological researcher whose work centers on improving patient outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, with a particular focus on the impact of surgical approach on health-related quality of life. Her major contributions stem from large-scale, multicenter prospective studies that leverage rigorous statistical methods, such as propensity score weighting, to provide real-world evidence on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) after radical prostatectomy. Her most cited work, a 2019 study from the Pros-IT CNR project, has garnered 28 citations and demonstrates how different surgical techniques—open, laparoscopic, and robotic—affect patients’ functional recovery and well-being. Buglione’s research is notable for its use of validated PROMs to shift the conversation from purely oncological metrics to patient-centered care. She has also contributed to longitudinal analyses showing how radical prostatectomy procedures have evolved over the past decade in Italy, drawing on data from over 1,500 patients across the MIRROR-SIU/LUNA and Pros-IT CNR registries. Her work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to understand the trade-offs between surgical approaches and to optimize treatment decisions for men with prostate cancer.
