About
Yuumi Tokura is a urologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes and risk stratification for prostate cancer patients, particularly those with intermediate to high-risk disease. Her most cited work, a 2017 study with 12 citations, investigates the predictive value of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density and detailed biopsy core characteristics in men undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This research provides critical insights for urologic surgeons, helping them decide whether to perform extended resections or lymph node dissections based on preoperative biopsy findings. By refining the use of PSA density alongside core-specific data, Tokura contributes to more personalized surgical planning and better oncological prognostication. Her work underscores the importance of integrating detailed pathological information into clinical decision-making, aiming to reduce overtreatment while improving cancer control. Though her citation count reflects a focused, emerging body of work, Tokura’s contributions are directly relevant to the growing field of precision surgery for prostate cancer, offering practical tools for risk-adapted management in the operating room.
