About
Neil McCartan is a leading clinical researcher in urological oncology, with a primary focus on patient-reported outcomes following prostate cancer surgery. His work centers on understanding the real-world impact of radical prostatectomy on urinary continence and sexual function, particularly in the context of robotic-assisted techniques. McCartan’s major contribution lies in the rigorous, prospective collection and analysis of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), moving beyond traditional surgeon-reported metrics to capture the lived experience of recovery. His landmark 2024 study, which has already garnered 15 citations, analyzed a contemporary, multi-centre UK cohort to chart functional recovery over the first year post-surgery. This work provides critical, descriptive benchmarks for clinicians and patients, highlighting the trajectory and variability of recovery. By championing PROMs in large-scale, multi-institutional settings, McCartan is helping to shift the standard of care toward more patient-centered evaluation, directly informing preoperative counselling and postoperative support strategies for men undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy.
