About
Hyeon Jeong is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly through the lens of radical prostatectomy. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of positive surgical margins (PSMs)—a critical predictor of biochemical recurrence (BCR). In her highly cited 2013 study (24 citations), Jeong systematically analyzed how the location of PSMs influences recurrence risk across different surgical modalities and patient risk stratifications, providing surgeons with actionable insights to refine their techniques. She further identified key preoperative predictors of PSMs in Korean men (2014, 13 citations), addressing a gap in ethnically specific surgical outcomes. More recently, Jeong explored the nuanced interplay between obesity and surgical methods, demonstrating that risk factors for BCR differ based on the degree of obesity (2020). Her cumulative work, drawing from large multi-institutional cohorts of over 3,000 patients, has directly informed clinical decision-making in robotic, laparoscopic, and open prostatectomy. By bridging surgical precision with personalized risk assessment, Jeong’s contributions continue to shape postoperative management strategies and improve long-term cancer control for patients worldwide.
