About
Dr. Kyung Jin Chung is a leading figure in urological oncology, with a focused expertise in patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following prostate cancer treatment. His most impactful contribution is the development and validation of the Korean version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), a globally recognized tool for assessing HRQoL. This seminal work, cited 33 times, addressed a critical gap by providing a culturally adapted, unified methodology to measure urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal domains in Korean prostate cancer patients. By enabling standardized, patient-centered evaluations, Dr. Chung’s research has directly improved clinical decision-making and survivorship care. His work underscores a commitment to bridging international standards with local clinical needs, empowering clinicians to better understand treatment impacts beyond survival. Through this foundational achievement, Dr. Chung has established himself as a key contributor to cross-cultural validation of oncology instruments, advancing both research methodology and patient care in urological oncology.
