About

Dr. Peter Ka Fung Chiu is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation and oncology, with a particular focus on prostate cancer. His research centers on minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and localized prostate cancer, especially the emerging field of robotic waterjet ablation, or Aquablation. In his most cited work, Dr. Chiu investigates the impact of Aquablation on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in men with localized prostate cancer and concurrent lower urinary tract symptoms—a critical question for understanding whether this novel procedure might inadvertently disseminate malignant cells. This prospective study, involving men with MRI-visible lesions, represents a pioneering effort to bridge functional urology and oncologic safety. While his citation count is still growing, Dr. Chiu’s contributions are notable for their forward-looking, safety-focused approach to surgical technique. His work is highly relevant for clinicians and researchers exploring how to combine symptom relief with oncologic control, and it positions him as a key voice in the evolution of robotic, tissue-sparing prostate surgery.
