About
Dr. P. Kassab is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a particular focus on gastric cancer treatment in Brazil. As a key member of the Brazilian Laparoscopic Oncologic Gastrectomy Group (BLOGG), Dr. Kassab has been instrumental in documenting and disseminating the evolution of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in the country. Their seminal 2017 work, which has garnered 9 citations, provides a critical historical and contemporary analysis of LG adoption, tracing its origins from the first procedures in 1993 to its current status. This paper highlights Dr. Kassab’s major contribution: bridging the gap between early adoption and widespread clinical implementation, while identifying barriers to dissemination and offering perspectives for future growth. By systematically evaluating the Brazilian experience, Dr. Kassab has helped establish best practices and fostered collaboration among surgical centers. Their work not only chronicles a pivotal shift in surgical technique but also serves as a roadmap for expanding minimally invasive access, ultimately improving patient outcomes in gastric cancer care across Latin America.
