About

Sue Evans is a prominent researcher specializing in urological oncology, with a particular focus on prostate cancer treatment outcomes and surgical techniques. Her work has made substantial contributions to understanding the comparative effectiveness of surgical approaches for localized prostate cancer, most notably through rigorous evaluations of open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Evans is perhaps best known for her landmark 2017 Cochrane systematic review comparing minimally invasive and open radical prostatectomy techniques, which has accumulated over 233 citations and stands as an authoritative reference in the field. This work, alongside a companion publication garnering 124 citations, provided clinicians and patients with critical evidence to guide surgical decision-making. Her research has also drawn extensively on population-based registry data, including the Victorian Prostate Cancer Registry, to examine real-world outcomes such as positive surgical margins, urinary and sexual function, and health-related quality of life — bridging the gap between clinical trial findings and everyday clinical practice. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 450 across her most-cited works, Evans has demonstrably shaped how the urological community evaluates surgical innovation, emphasizing patient-reported outcomes and long-term functional recovery alongside traditional oncological endpoints. Her registry-based methodologies reflect a commitment to evidence that reflects diverse patient populations.
