About
Fionna E. Martin is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of geriatric oncology and women’s health. Her primary research focus is on the functional outcomes and quality of life for older women undergoing surgery for gynaecological cancers—a rapidly growing, yet historically understudied, patient population. Martin’s most cited work, “The functional trajectories of older women having surgery for gynaeoncology cancer: A single site prospective observational study” (2023), provides one of the first detailed, prospective maps of how physical function changes in this group from pre-surgery through recovery. By identifying distinct trajectories of decline and recovery, her study offers clinicians actionable data to better counsel patients and tailor perioperative care. While her citation count is still building—reflecting the recent nature of this pivotal publication—the study has already become a foundational reference for researchers exploring frailty and functional resilience in older cancer patients. Martin’s work is notable for its patient-centred lens, directly challenging the one-size-fits-all approach to cancer surgery and advocating for geriatric-specific prehabilitation and support pathways. Her contributions are shaping a more nuanced, compassionate standard of care for an ageing surgical population.
