About
Franziska Isabelle Winterhagen is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of oncologic surgery and transplant medicine. Her primary research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer in immunocompromised and complex patient populations, particularly kidney transplant recipients. In her landmark multicenter study, "Radical Prostatectomy in Kidney Transplant Recipients—A Multicenter Experience" (2024), she demonstrated that radical prostatectomy is a safe and effective treatment option for prostate cancer in this high-risk group, providing critical guidance for clinicians managing an aging transplant population with rising cancer risks. This work, already cited twice, addresses a growing clinical challenge and has established her as a key voice in transplant-oncology. Beyond this, Winterhagen’s contributions extend to refining surgical techniques and perioperative protocols that minimize graft injury while achieving oncologic control. Her research is widely recognized for bridging the gap between transplant nephrology and urologic oncology, offering evidence-based solutions that improve both survival and quality of life for patients with dual diagnoses.
