About
Dr. Tom Marlow is a leading health economist whose research focuses on the economic evaluation of surgical technologies, particularly in urological oncology. His landmark work, the health economic analysis within the prospective multicentre LAPPRO trial, has been cited over 87 times and provides critical, evidence-based cost comparisons between open and robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. This study directly addressed a significant gap in the literature, revealing the substantial cost implications of rapidly adopted robotic surgery and offering vital data for healthcare resource allocation. Dr. Marlow’s major contribution lies in his ability to rigorously quantify the economic trade-offs of advanced surgical interventions, moving beyond clinical outcomes alone to inform policy and practice. His research is essential reading for clinicians, hospital administrators, and health policy researchers navigating the high-stakes decisions around surgical innovation and cost-effectiveness.
