About
Stacey A. Kenfield is a leading epidemiologist whose research focuses on the intersection of lifestyle, aging, and cancer survivorship, with a particular emphasis on prostate cancer outcomes. Her major contributions include establishing robust, real-world benchmarks for surgical outcomes in prostate cancer treatment. Her highly cited 2014 study, "Benchmarks for Operative Outcomes of Robotic and Open Radical Prostatectomy," leveraged data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study to provide critical, evidence-based comparisons of robotic and open surgical techniques. This work, which has garnered over 100 citations, has helped guide clinical decision-making by offering patients and surgeons reliable data on complication rates and functional recovery. Beyond this landmark study, Kenfield is renowned for her pioneering work on the role of physical activity, diet, and smoking cessation in improving survival and quality of life for men with prostate cancer. Her research has been instrumental in shaping national guidelines for cancer survivorship, demonstrating that modifiable lifestyle factors can significantly impact disease progression and overall mortality.
