About
Mina Sarofim is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex pelvic malignancies, particularly colorectal cancers requiring pelvic exenteration. Her work critically evaluates the oncological safety and efficacy of laparoscopic and robotic approaches in these high-stakes procedures. In her 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis, she demonstrated that minimally invasive pelvic exenteration achieves comparable R0 resection rates to open surgery, a pivotal finding that supports expanding the use of these less invasive methods without compromising curative outcomes. Her companion systematic review on robotic pelvic exenteration further characterizes this evolving field, highlighting technical feasibility and potential benefits in achieving clear margins while reducing morbidity. Although her most-cited papers are recent, their immediate relevance to surgical practice underscores her emerging impact. By synthesizing evidence on these advanced techniques, Sarofim is helping to define best practices and expand surgical options for patients with locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer, contributing to the ongoing shift toward precision, minimally invasive oncologic surgery.
