About
Dr. Philippe Puech is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the management of prostate and kidney cancers. His primary research focuses on advancing minimally invasive, organ-sparing techniques, particularly for anterior prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma. Dr. Puech is internationally recognized for pioneering and refining robot-assisted partial prostatectomy (RA-APP), a targeted approach that removes only the tumor while preserving healthy tissue. His landmark 2016 study on this technique (54 citations) and his long-term follow-up at 7 years (2023) have demonstrated excellent functional and oncologic outcomes, challenging the standard of whole-gland treatment. He has also made significant contributions to focal therapy, including stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for recurrent prostate cancer after prostatectomy (32 citations). In renal cancer, his multicenter AblatT1b study (2023, 25 citations) provides critical comparative data on tumor ablation versus robotic partial nephrectomy. Additionally, Dr. Puech developed ProstAtlas, a digital morphologic atlas of the prostate, and has authored definitive step-by-step surgical guides. His cumulative work, cited over 150 times, is guiding a paradigm shift toward more personalized, function-preserving cancer care.
