About

Dr. Deborah Farr is a pioneering breast surgical oncologist whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, radiation oncology, and patient-centered outcomes. Her primary research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for breast cancer treatment, particularly through the development and validation of single-port robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (SPrNSM). Her landmark 2024 paper on this topic, with 60 citations, demonstrated the safety and feasibility of the da Vinci SP system, overcoming significant hurdles posed by multiport robots and paving the way for improved cosmetic results, sensation preservation, and patient satisfaction. Dr. Farr is also a leader in stereotactic partial breast irradiation (S-PBI), having conducted multi-institutional phase 1 dose-escalation trials (23 citations) that explore single-fraction, ablative radiation for early-stage breast cancer—a paradigm shift that could dramatically shorten treatment times. Her work extends to reconstructive innovation, combining robotic mastectomy with profunda artery perforator flaps, and she has contributed to the critical discussion of surgeon wellness in the robotic era. With a growing portfolio of high-impact studies, Dr. Farr is shaping the future of breast cancer care through precision, technology, and holistic patient outcomes.
