About

Roy McGregor is a leading figure in urologic oncology, with a career-long focus on advancing the surgical management of prostate cancer. His primary research areas center on the long-term oncologic and functional outcomes of minimally invasive surgery, specifically laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). McGregor’s most significant contribution is his landmark study on the "Minimum 5‐year follow‐up of 1138 consecutive laparoscopic radical prostatectomies," which provides crucial, long-term data on the efficacy and safety of the LRP technique. This work, cited over 20 times, offers a comprehensive analysis of a large patient cohort stratified by D’Amico risk groups, demonstrating the procedure’s durability across low-, intermediate-, and high-risk categories. By meticulously documenting outcomes over a 163-month period, McGregor has helped establish LRP as a reliable standard of care, providing surgeons and patients with evidence-based benchmarks for cancer control and quality of life. His research remains a vital reference for those studying the evolution of prostate cancer surgery.
