Attending Physician
Dr. Po-Fan Hsieh graduated from the School of Medicine at National Taiwan University and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at China Medical University. His clinical expertise focuses on image-guided treatment of prostate cancer. He has performed more than 1,000 MRI-ultrasound fusion-guided prostate biopsies, enabling precise tumor localization for subsequent treatments, including high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), irreversible electroporation (IRE), radical prostatectomy, and hydrogel spacer implantation for radiotherapy.
Dr. Hsieh’s extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer has resulted in numerous publications and certification of the Symbol of National Quality (SNQ) Award. His clinical expertise and contributions have also been incorporated into the European Association of Urology (EAU) guideline, serving as a reference for physicians worldwide in the management of prostate cancer.
In addition, Dr. Hsieh has developed considerable expertise in endoscopic stone surgery. Building on the extensive experience with flexible ureteroscopy, he has pioneered Ultramini-endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery to treat complex urinary stones. These techniques allow complex stones to be treated through minimal incisions with low risk of complications, and his clinical results have been presented at numerous medical conferences both in Taiwan and internationally.
Dr. Hsieh also specializes in minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), including laser surgery, urolift, and Rezum water vapor therapy.
