About
Dr. Weber Kam On Lau is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer. He is best known for his leadership in focal therapy, demonstrated by his landmark Phase I trial of in-bore MR-guided focused ultrasound, which reported two-year safety and functional outcomes (50 citations). Dr. Lau has also made transformative contributions to robotic surgery, notably showing that a team-based approach can significantly reduce the learning curve for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (42 citations). His innovative spirit extends to device development, where he introduced the first robotic ultrasound-guided prostate intervention device, validated in phantom studies for safety and accuracy (40 citations). Additionally, Dr. Lau has advanced prostate cancer diagnostics through stereotactic robotic-assisted transperineal biopsy platforms, comparing systematic versus targeted biopsy using multiparametric MRI-ultrasound fusion (23 citations), and has explored the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in localized disease. With over 200 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Lau’s research has directly shaped modern, less invasive approaches to prostate cancer care, from the operating theatre to the clinic.
