About
Dr. Peng Yun Ng is a rising leader in urologic oncology, whose work centers on advancing intraoperative imaging and surgical precision for prostate cancer. Her most notable contribution is the design of the IP8-FLUORESCE study protocol, a landmark investigation into the use of fluorescence confocal microscopy for real-time margin assessment during radical prostatectomy. This work directly addresses a critical clinical bottleneck: the high cost and limited pathology workforce that hinder accurate intraoperative detection of positive surgical margins. By pioneering a novel imaging approach that could allow surgeons to visualize residual tumor immediately, Dr. Ng’s research promises to reduce repeat surgeries and improve oncologic outcomes. Her protocol has already garnered 10 citations since its 2024 publication, signaling strong early impact in the field. Dr. Ng’s contributions are especially significant for their potential to democratize advanced surgical guidance, making precision margin assessment more accessible. Her work bridges the gap between cutting-edge microscopy and practical surgical needs, positioning her as a key voice in the future of image-guided cancer surgery.
