About
Yoshiro Otsuki is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the diagnosis and management of rare and aggressive prostate malignancies. His major contributions center on the application of advanced imaging, particularly PET-CT, to identify atypical prostate cancers that evade standard detection due to normal PSA levels. In his most cited work, Otsuki details the case of a 70-year-old man with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate—a tumor comprising less than 1% of all prostate cancers—diagnosed solely through abnormal PET-CT uptake. He further demonstrated the feasibility of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy as a treatment for this locally advanced disease. This case, published in 2025, has already garnered attention for highlighting the critical role of functional imaging in diagnosing PSA-negative prostate cancers. Otsuki’s research bridges a gap in clinical oncology, offering a diagnostic and therapeutic roadmap for urologists facing these rare, high-risk presentations. His work underscores the importance of multidisciplinary, imaging-guided approaches in modern urologic oncology.
