About
Dr. Yusuf Kasap is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of urologic oncology and advanced imaging. His primary research focus is on refining preoperative risk stratification for prostate cancer, with a particular emphasis on the role of periprostatic fat tissue as a biomarker for disease aggressiveness. In his most cited study, "The importance of periprostatic fat tissue thickness measured by preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in upstage prediction after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy" (2023), Dr. Kasap demonstrated that radiologically measurable adipose tissue can serve as a predictor of pathological upstaging following robotic surgery. This contribution offers a non-invasive tool to help surgeons and patients anticipate more aggressive disease, potentially guiding decisions on nerve-sparing techniques or adjuvant therapies. While his citation count is still growing—reflecting the recent publication of his key work—the clinical relevance of his findings is already being recognized in the urology community. Dr. Kasap’s research bridges radiology and surgical oncology, providing actionable insights that could improve personalized treatment planning for men undergoing radical prostatectomy.
