About
Gissou Azabdaftari is a leading researcher in urologic oncology, with a focus on bladder and prostate cancer. Her work centers on understanding tumor biology and improving surgical outcomes, particularly through the lens of minimally invasive techniques like robot-assisted surgery. A major contribution is her investigation into the factors predicting a complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, a study that has garnered 61 citations and provides critical insight for treatment planning. She has also pioneered methods to detect and quantify residual cancer cells in pelvic washings following robot-assisted radical cystectomy, demonstrating a significant link between these cells and cancer recurrence—a finding with 26 citations that challenges assumptions about surgical tumor dissemination. Her research extends to optimizing tissue procurement protocols for prostatectomy specimens, ensuring high-quality samples for downstream molecular analysis. Through these efforts, Azabdaftari has advanced the understanding of tumor spread during surgery and the biological markers that guide personalized treatment, making her a key voice in the quest to reduce bladder cancer mortality.
