About

Victor Yu is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly in elderly and high-risk patient populations. His key research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, functional recovery after radical prostatectomy, and oncological outcomes in aging cohorts. Yu’s major contribution lies in challenging conventional age-based barriers to curative prostate cancer surgery. His landmark study on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients aged 75 and older—published in 2025—demonstrated that with modern robotic techniques, elderly patients can achieve favorable functional, surgical, and oncological outcomes, comparable to younger cohorts. This work has already garnered 3 citations and is reshaping clinical guidelines for geriatric oncology. By systematically analyzing continence, potency, and cancer control in an Australian cohort, Yu provided evidence that age alone should not preclude aggressive treatment. His research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and personalized care, offering hope to older patients who might otherwise be denied curative intervention. Yu’s findings are increasingly cited in discussions on expanding surgical candidacy, making him a rising voice in urologic oncology and geriatric surgery.
