About
Seung Bae Lee is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through the analysis of positive surgical margins (PSMs) after radical prostatectomy. His work has provided critical insights into how the location and extent of PSMs influence biochemical recurrence—a key predictor of cancer progression. In his landmark 2013 study, cited 24 times, Lee systematically compared recurrence rates across different risk groups and surgical modalities, demonstrating that PSM location significantly impacts prognosis regardless of whether the procedure is open, robotic, or laparoscopic. His subsequent 2014 multicenter study of 3,227 Korean men identified preoperative predictors of PSMs, offering surgeons evidence-based guidance to refine their techniques and reduce margin positivity. By highlighting disparities in outcomes among Asian populations, Lee has advanced personalized surgical planning and underscored the importance of risk stratification in prostate cancer management. His work continues to shape clinical decision-making, helping to minimize recurrence and improve long-term survival for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
