Dr. Choy's research focuses on bladder cancer, particularly immune features of response to immunotherapy and tumor heterogeneity, and kidney neoplasms, examining morphologic and ancillary techniques for diagnostic evaluation. Her work bridges clinical pathology with translational research to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in genitourinary diseases.
Her recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on genitourinary pathology, cytopathology, and digital pathology. Key areas include diagnostic challenges in urinary cytology, application of digital pathology in gender-affirming surgery, renal neoplasms with lymphadenopathy, and addressing racial disparities in prostate cancer diagnostics using MRI. These works highlight her commitment to advancing diagnostic pathology and reducing health disparities.
