Troy Gianduzzo

About

Troy Gianduzzo is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the diagnosis and surgical management of prostate cancer. His research centers on improving preoperative imaging accuracy and refining minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Gianduzzo’s most cited work (146 citations) is a multi-institutional study on symptomatic deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in prostate cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic prostatectomy, highlighting critical safety outcomes. He has made landmark contributions to comparing preoperative imaging modalities, demonstrating that 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT often outperforms multiparametric MRI in predicting pathological outcomes at radical prostatectomy—a finding with over 100 combined citations from his 2020 and 2021 studies. His work on transperineal biopsy (49 citations) showed it provides more accurate Gleason scoring than transrectal biopsy, reducing undergrading. Gianduzzo also pioneered early feasibility studies on laser nerve-sparing RALP in canine models and analyzed large Australian laparoscopic prostatectomy cohorts. His research directly impacts clinical decision-making, helping surgeons select the best imaging and surgical approaches for prostate cancer patients.
