About
Misop Han is a prominent urologic oncologist and surgeon-scientist whose work has fundamentally advanced the understanding and treatment of prostate cancer. Best known for his research on radical prostatectomy outcomes, surgical technique optimization, and image-guided interventional technologies, Han has shaped both clinical practice and technological innovation in urology. His most celebrated contribution — a 2003 paper in the *Journal of Urology* accumulating 675 citations — established probability models for PSA recurrence following radical prostatectomy, providing clinicians with critical prognostic tools for managing localized prostate cancer. Building on this foundation, Han has systematically compared open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical approaches, offering rigorous evidence to guide technique selection across patient populations, including those with high-risk disease. Equally notable is Han's pioneering work in robotic and ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy systems, reflecting a forward-thinking integration of engineering and clinical medicine. His geometric analyses of transrectal biopsy accuracy and development of robotic probe manipulators have pushed diagnostic precision to new frontiers. Han has also contributed meaningfully to patient safety research, including opioid stewardship and venous thromboembolism prevention after prostatectomy. Collectively, his portfolio represents a career dedicated to improving oncologic outcomes, surgical precision, and perioperative patient care.
