About
Dr. Kexue Pu is a health economics and outcomes researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation and economic evaluation in oncology. Her primary research areas include cost-effectiveness analysis, robotic surgery, and cervical cancer management. Dr. Pu’s most cited study, a model-based economic evaluation published in 2024, rigorously compares robotic radical hysterectomy to conventional laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer in China. This work is notable for integrating long-term survival data into a Markov model, providing critical evidence on whether the higher upfront costs of robotic surgery are justified by improved patient outcomes. With 7 citations already, this paper signals growing interest in her pragmatic, policy-relevant approach to surgical decision-making. Dr. Pu’s research is particularly impactful for healthcare systems in low- and middle-income countries, where resource allocation is paramount. By quantifying trade-offs between cost and clinical benefit, she empowers clinicians and policymakers to make evidence-based choices. Her work exemplifies how health economics can guide the adoption of advanced technologies, ensuring that innovation translates into accessible, sustainable care.
