About
Yeong‐Shiau Pu is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical treatments for urologic cancers, particularly upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and prostate cancer. A key contributor to the Taiwan Robot Urological Surgery Team (TRUST), Dr. Pu has been instrumental in evaluating and comparing robotic-assisted and laparoscopic techniques. His landmark 2015 study, with 25 citations, provided a matched comparison showing that robot-assisted nephroureterectomy offers perioperative and oncological outcomes comparable to hand-assisted laparoscopy for UTUC. In prostate cancer, Dr. Pu has made significant contributions to risk stratification and treatment selection. His 2020 work on the Prostate Health Index (PHI) and %p2PSA demonstrated their utility in predicting aggressive pathology before radical prostatectomy, while his 2022 propensity-score matched analysis (7 citations) compared surgery versus radiotherapy for locally advanced disease, offering crucial guidance for clinical decision-making. Through studies on high-risk prostate cancer outcomes and the oncological effectiveness of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy monotherapy, Dr. Pu has helped define which patients benefit most from surgery alone. His research consistently emphasizes evidence-based, patient-centered care, shaping modern urological oncology practice in Asia and beyond.
