About

Takeshi Miyake is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on the application of robot-assisted surgery in elderly patient populations, particularly for prostate cancer treatment. His most cited work, "Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy for Men Age 75 and Older" (2017), addresses the controversial topic of surgical intervention in older adults, demonstrating that RARP offers a viable, less invasive option for patients with good performance status. With 2 citations, this study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting minimally invasive techniques in geriatric oncology, challenging age-based surgical biases. Miyake’s work emphasizes careful patient selection and the safety of robotic procedures in elderly men, helping to expand surgical candidacy beyond traditional age limits. His research underscores the importance of balancing oncological control with quality of life in aging populations, making him a notable voice in the evolving field of robotic urologic surgery.
