About
Dr. Steve Pastore is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical oncology and artificial intelligence, with a primary focus on improving cancer surgery outcomes through real-time imaging technologies. His most notable contribution is the development and clinical application of Stimulated Raman Histology (SRH), a groundbreaking technique that provides near real-time, label-free histologic images of fresh tissue without the need for processing or staining. In his landmark 2025 study, Pastore demonstrated how SRH combined with artificial intelligence can enable near-instant interpretation of surgical margins during radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer—a critical advancement for balancing complete tumor resection with preservation of functional outcomes. This work, already garnering 9 citations shortly after publication, positions Pastore at the forefront of intraoperative pathology innovation. By integrating advanced optical imaging with machine learning, he is helping to transform the surgical decision-making process, potentially reducing positive margin rates and improving patient quality of life. His research holds profound implications for urologic oncology and the broader field of precision surgery.
