About
Dr. Ru Chen is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her major contributions lie in identifying independent factors that predict postoperative urinary continence recovery, a critical quality-of-life concern for patients. In her highly cited 2021 study (25 citations), Dr. Chen pioneered the transvesical approach to RARP, demonstrating its efficacy in improving short-term continence outcomes. She further distinguished herself through a rigorous propensity score matched analysis comparing RARP to laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) for intermediate- and high-risk localized prostate cancer, showing that RARP offers superior functional preservation—including better urinary continence and erectile function—without compromising oncologic control. Her work has been instrumental in refining surgical techniques and patient counseling, directly impacting clinical decision-making. With her research consistently cited by peers, Dr. Chen is recognized as a key voice in the ongoing effort to balance cancer eradication with the preservation of patients’ quality of life.
