About
Paul Cathcart is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer, particularly through the use of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions lie in rigorously comparing the functional outcomes—urinary continence and erectile function—of RARP against laparoscopic and open surgical approaches. A landmark national cohort study in England (2018, 61 citations) demonstrated superior functional recovery with robotic surgery, providing crucial evidence for its widespread adoption. Cathcart has also pioneered the application of radical prostatectomy in challenging scenarios, including salvage surgery after focal therapy failure (2019, 78 citations) and as part of multimodal therapy for high-risk localized disease (2011, 39 citations). Notably, his work on the TRoMbone trial (2021, 55 citations) tested the feasibility of radical prostatectomy in men with oligo-metastatic prostate cancer, pushing the boundaries of surgical candidacy. With over 400 total citations across his most influential papers, Cathcart’s research has directly shaped clinical guidelines and improved patient outcomes by systematically quantifying surgical complications and recovery benchmarks.
