About
Yuki Kyoda is a urological researcher whose work centers on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life following prostate cancer treatment, with a particular focus on the psychological and emotional dimensions often overlooked in clinical practice. In their landmark study, “How do Japanese patients really feel about losing potency after radical prostatectomy? (MAJI study),” Kyoda conducted in-depth interviews with 20 patients scheduled for non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, revealing the nuanced, deeply personal ways men process the loss of erectile function—challenging assumptions that potency preservation is always the primary concern. This qualitative approach, rare in surgical outcomes research, has garnered early citations for its methodological innovation and cultural sensitivity. Kyoda’s work bridges the gap between surgical efficacy and patient lived experience, advocating for more holistic preoperative counseling. By giving voice to Japanese patients’ authentic feelings, Kyoda has opened a vital conversation about how we define “success” in cancer treatment, making their contributions essential reading for clinicians, researchers, and students committed to truly patient-centered urological care.
