About

Lance A. Mynderse is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive, image-guided interventions for prostate cancer. His major contributions center on integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into both diagnosis and therapy, pioneering techniques for MR-guided prostate biopsy and targeted focal treatments. By moving beyond conventional whole-gland therapies—such as radical prostatectomy and radiation—Mynderse has helped shape a paradigm shift toward precision medicine in urology, enabling clinicians to identify and treat only clinically significant lesions while sparing healthy tissue. His work on MR-guided prostate interventions, including a 2018 study with 12 citations, and a 2016 paper on targeted biopsy and MR-guided therapy (11 citations), has provided foundational evidence for these approaches. Notably, Mynderse has been instrumental in translating advanced imaging technology from the research setting into practical clinical workflows, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing overtreatment. His research continues to influence active surveillance protocols and focal therapy strategies, making him a key figure in the evolution of prostate cancer management.
