About
Dr. Cavit Kerem Kayhan is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intraoperative detection of lymph node metastases in prostate cancer. His most notable contribution is the first-ever pilot study applying the one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) technique during robotic radical prostatectomy. This innovative method, which detects cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA via reverse transcription loop-mediated DNA amplification, offers a real-time alternative to traditional frozen section analysis. Although a pilot study with 2 citations, this work has laid critical groundwork for improving surgical precision and reducing the need for secondary procedures. Dr. Kayhan’s research bridges molecular diagnostics and minimally invasive surgery, with potential to enhance staging accuracy and patient outcomes. His pioneering approach positions him at the forefront of integrating molecular pathology into robotic urologic oncology, marking a significant step toward personalized, real-time cancer management.
