About
Courtney Yong is a leading urologic oncologist whose research centers on upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and the optimization of robot-assisted surgical techniques. As a core member of the ROBUUST 2.0 collaborative group, Dr. Yong has been instrumental in advancing the evidence base for managing this rare but aggressive malignancy. Her landmark study analyzing robot-assisted nephroureterectomy in over 1,100 patients—the largest multi-institutional series to date—has garnered significant attention, with 17 citations. Dr. Yong’s work critically examines surgical outcomes, the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the prognostic impact of diagnostic ureteroscopy, directly informing clinical decision-making for high-risk patients. She has also developed a pretreatment nomogram to predict muscle invasion, a tool that promises to refine treatment selection. Beyond UTUC, Dr. Yong has contributed to the long-term comparison of open versus robotic partial nephrectomy, demonstrating her breadth in minimally invasive surgery. With over 70 citations across her recent publications, Dr. Yong is shaping the future of urologic oncology through rigorous, collaborative research that bridges surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes.
