About
Emily Souder’s research centers on colorectal cancer survivorship, with a particular focus on how surgical techniques affect patients’ long-term well-being. Her most cited work, a 2019 mixed-methods study, examines the impact of surgical modality—comparing open, laparoscopic, robotic, and transanal approaches—on body image, quality of life, and survivorship after anterior resection for colorectal cancer. This study, with 22 citations, is notable for integrating patient-reported outcomes with clinical data, revealing that less invasive procedures may improve self-image and emotional recovery. Souder’s contributions bridge surgical innovation and patient-centered care, highlighting the importance of survivorship beyond mere oncological outcomes. Her work has influenced discussions on minimally invasive surgery’s role in holistic recovery, making her a key voice in colorectal cancer research. For students and researchers, Souder exemplifies how mixed-methods research can illuminate the human dimensions of surgical decision-making, offering a model for studying quality of life in oncology.
