About

Matthew Pollard is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for men with prostate cancer, with a particular focus on disparities in care and post-treatment quality of life. His highly cited 2010 study, “Unnecessary Imaging for the Staging of Low-risk Prostate Cancer Is Common” (83 citations), exposed widespread overuse of imaging in low-risk patients, directly influencing clinical guidelines to reduce wasteful and potentially harmful testing. Pollard has also made significant contributions to understanding racial disparities in prostate cancer treatment; his 2014 paper on decisional regret after robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (36 citations) found that African American men experience higher rates of regret, highlighting the need for culturally tailored counseling. Additionally, his 2019 work on multimodal penile rehabilitation regimens (23 citations) provides evidence-based strategies to improve postoperative erectile function recovery. Pollard’s research on abdominal approaches to pelvic prolapse repairs (17 citations) further demonstrates his expertise in surgical technique and patient-centered outcomes. Through these studies, Pollard has shaped both clinical practice and health equity discussions in urologic oncology.
