About
Ralph Conwill is a health services researcher whose work focuses on improving the quality of surgical care for prostate cancer. His research centers on comparing treatment outcomes, understanding patient-reported quality of life, and developing meaningful quality measures for localized prostate cancer. Conwill’s most impactful contribution is his landmark 2015 study on the comparative harms of open versus robotic prostatectomy, which used population-based cohort data to challenge assumptions about robotic surgery’s superiority—a paper cited 64 times and influential in shaping surgical decision-making. He also advanced the interpretation of the EPIC-26 questionnaire, clarifying how domain scores translate into functional outcomes for patients, and contributed to the CEASAR study, which assessed variation in surgical care quality across the United States. His work bridges the gap between clinical metrics and patient experience, helping both clinicians and patients set realistic expectations after treatment. With over 80 citations across his key publications, Conwill’s research continues to inform evidence-based practice in urologic oncology.
