About
Roula Albadine is a pathologist whose research centers on the histopathologic evaluation of prostate cancer, with a particular focus on surgical margins and the integration of advanced optical imaging technologies. Her most-cited work, a 2011 comparative study of positive surgical margins across robotic-assisted, open retropubic, and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy techniques, has garnered 28 citations, establishing a foundational understanding of how surgical approach influences margin status in a single academic center. This contribution has informed urologic pathology and surgical practice. In a more recent and innovative 2020 study, Albadine contributed to the development of a wide-field optical spectroscopy system that combines reflectance and spatial frequency domain imaging to measure attenuation-corrected intrinsic tissue fluorescence in radical prostatectomy specimens. This multimodal imaging approach, which integrates endogenous fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with surface profilometry, represents a notable technical achievement in intraoperative pathology. Her work bridges histopathology and biomedical optics, demonstrating a commitment to improving the precision of prostate cancer diagnosis and surgical guidance.
