About

Jae‐Kyung Lee is a clinical researcher specializing in urological oncology, with a particular focus on prostate cancer diagnosis and surgical planning using advanced imaging technologies. His work centers on the application of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and the PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) scoring framework to improve preoperative staging accuracy in prostate cancer patients. Lee's most notable contribution examines the utility of PI-RADS version 2.1 in predicting capsular invasion among patients radiologically staged as T3a prostate cancer. This research addresses a clinically significant challenge: identifying patients whose disease has been overestimated on mpMRI, where imaging suggests extracapsular extension but final pathology reveals organ-confined (pT2) disease. By characterizing these patients more precisely, Lee's work provides a meaningful framework for surgeons to consider neurovascular bundle preservation during radical prostatectomy — a decision with profound implications for postoperative urinary continence and sexual function. Though his 2023 publication is in its early citation stages with 2 citations, the clinical relevance of this work positions it as a valuable resource for urologists and radiologists seeking to refine surgical decision-making and minimize unnecessary functional morbidity in prostate cancer patients.
