About
Dr. Sugeeta Sukumar is a urologic oncologist whose clinical research focuses on optimizing outcomes in high-risk prostate cancer, particularly following robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. Her work addresses the challenging management of pT3b disease, where seminal vesicle invasion complicates postoperative decision-making. In her landmark 2022 study from a single tertiary cancer center, Dr. Sukumar demonstrated that surgical margin status critically guides the choice between active surveillance, adjuvant radiotherapy, and salvage therapy—providing a practical framework for clinicians navigating this treatment dilemma. While her most cited paper has garnered 1 citation, its clinical significance lies in addressing a real-world problem: the lack of consensus for managing pathologic T3b prostate cancer. Dr. Sukumar’s contributions underscore the importance of personalized risk stratification in urologic oncology, bridging surgical outcomes with evidence-based adjuvant strategies. Her work continues to inform multidisciplinary discussions on balancing cancer control with quality of life in high-risk patients.
