In 2009, Oh presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology the findings of a two-year study which showed that a six-gene molecular diagnostic test, when combined with a PSA test, improved to 90% the accuracy of prostate cancer detection over PSA tests alone.
Oh is the author of more than 275 articles and 100 abstracts. He is the editor of 5 books and the author of 20 book chapters.

Oh is a leading member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. He has served on multiple editorial boards including the journals The Prostate, Clinical Genitourinary Cancer, the American Journal of Hematology and Oncology and CA – A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.
Oh has been the principal investigator on multiple clinical trials of chemotherapy in castration-resistant (CRPC) prostate cancer and for three trials of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in high-risk localized prostate cancer patients.
At the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute, from 2000 to 2009, Oh developed and managed a prospective clinical database linked to blood and tissue banks for more than 8,000 prostate cancer patients, with links to blood samples and tissue repositories, for exploration of research and prognostic applications, including: efficacy of various therapies in CRPC, hormonal therapy, testosterone as a marker for cancer outcome, relapse predictions based on nutritional factors at diagnosis and autoantibody signatures, and assessment of pharmacogenomic patterns predicting Gleason score. At Mount Sinai, he has continued this work and developed a database of iver 1500 patients.
