About

Yong‐June Kim is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the clinical and surgical management of renal and prostate cancers. His major contributions include a landmark 28-year retrospective analysis of over 6,200 surgically treated renal masses, published in 2019, which provided critical insights into shifting trends in tumor characteristics, surgical approaches, and patient demographics in a Korean population. This comprehensive study has been cited 3 times and remains a key reference for understanding the evolving landscape of renal cancer surgery in Asia. More recently, Kim has investigated the impact of sarcopenia on prostate cancer outcomes, demonstrating in a 2021 multi-center study that pre-operative internal obturator muscle mass index on MRI can predict biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. This work, cited 2 times, highlights his innovative use of imaging biomarkers to refine prognostic models. Kim’s research bridges large-scale epidemiological analysis with precision medicine, offering actionable insights for improving surgical decision-making and patient stratification in urologic oncology.
