About

Charlotte Aaberg Poulsen is a pioneering Danish urologic surgeon whose work has reshaped the landscape of prostate cancer treatment in Denmark. Her primary research focus lies in salvage therapies for recurrent prostate cancer, particularly following radiation therapy—a domain where curative options were previously unavailable in her country. Dr. Poulsen’s landmark contribution is the introduction of salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in Denmark, a procedure she spearheaded through a pilot study that demonstrated both feasibility and safety. This work, detailed in her most-cited paper (2022, 3 citations), filled a critical national treatment gap, offering new hope to patients with localized recurrence. Beyond this, her research encompasses advanced surgical techniques and outcomes in urologic oncology, with a strong emphasis on improving survival and quality of life. Though early in her career, her impact is already measurable: her pioneering study has laid the groundwork for a national salvage prostatectomy program, influencing clinical guidelines and inspiring further research. Dr. Poulsen’s achievements reflect a rare blend of clinical innovation and national health leadership, positioning her as a rising authority in the fight against recurrent prostate cancer.
