About
Marina Di Mauro is a urological researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) and improving risk stratification in prostate cancer. Her key contributions include a systematic review of mechanical and ablative techniques for male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), evaluated through the novel BPH-6 framework—a patient-centered endpoint that assesses efficacy, safety, and quality of life beyond traditional measures. This work, cited 12 times, highlights her commitment to refining surgical alternatives to transurethral resection of the prostate. Di Mauro also developed and validated the Prostatic Systemic Inflammatory Markers (PSIM) score, a tool integrating circulating lymphocytes, platelets, and neutrophils to predict pathologic features at robotic radical prostatectomy in low-risk prostate cancer patients eligible for active surveillance. With 12 citations, this research offers a non-invasive method to identify candidates who may harbor more aggressive disease, potentially sparing unnecessary treatment. Her studies bridge clinical urology and systemic biomarkers, demonstrating impact through practical, evidence-based tools that enhance decision-making for both benign and malignant conditions.
