About
YoungJu Lee is a urologic researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in prostate cancer treatment, with a particular focus on elderly patient populations. Her most-cited study, a 2019 analysis of radical prostatectomy trends, examined urinary continence recovery in men over 70—a demographic often underrepresented in clinical research. By comparing cohorts aged above and below 70 years across 2,301 patients, Lee identified key predictors of continence recovery, challenging assumptions about age-related surgical risks. Her findings have direct clinical implications, helping surgeons counsel older patients more effectively and refine postoperative care protocols. With 15 citations, this work demonstrates growing influence in geriatric urology, a field where evidence-based guidelines remain limited. Lee’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and age-specific outcomes, ensuring that elderly patients receive tailored, evidence-driven treatment. Her contributions underscore the importance of inclusive clinical studies that address the unique needs of aging populations, making her a valuable voice in contemporary urologic oncology.
