About
Steven J. Jacobsen is a leading epidemiologist and health services researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of urologic oncology, patient-reported outcomes, and healthcare delivery. His major contributions center on understanding how treatment decisions and clinical processes affect the long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of men with prostate cancer. Using large, diverse population-based registries, Jacobsen has provided critical insights into the real-world impact of treatments like robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), including how surgical case order and trainee involvement influence perioperative outcomes. His research has also explored the role of modifiable risk factors, such as smoking cessation, in improving sexual function recovery after surgery. With over 30 citations for his landmark study on HRQoL outcomes from a contemporary prostate cancer registry, Jacobsen’s work has shaped clinical guidelines and informed patient counseling. Notably, he has investigated how urologist experience affects the adoption of active surveillance, highlighting the human factors in cancer management. Through his rigorous, data-driven approach, Jacobsen has advanced personalized care and improved the evidence base for prostate cancer treatment decisions.
