Philosophy of Care
Dr. Evans' philosophy of care is to:

fully assess the patient's medical condition, including how it relates to family and social circumstances;
educate the patient fully about their disease process; and
include the patient in the decision-making process that best suits the outcomes they seek.
In each case he looks for opportunity to enroll them in any new therapies or clinical trials that may be available and pertinent.

Clinical Interests
Dr. Evans' practice is dedicated to the management of patients with urologic malignancies. He works with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists to provide multimodal approaches to cancer therapy.

His surgical expertise includes robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with nerve sparing, complex renal surgery to include partial nephrectomy and vena cava thrombectomy, cystectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection and urinary diversion with orthotopic neobladders.

Dr. Evans also has expertise in treating patients with metastatic testicular cancer and performing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in post chemotherapy patients.

Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Evans is the president of the Society of Urologic Oncology.

His research laboratory focuses on prostate cancer; specifically, mechanisms signaling the androgen receptor to activate prostate cancer growth and progression following castration. His laboratory has developed models to study this and has identified novel mechanisms that activate the androgen receptor.

His laboratory work has also tested new agents and brought them from bench studies to animal models to clinical trials.
