About

Paige Teller is a rising voice in the evolving field of breast surgery, where her work bridges technical innovation with critical ethical reflection. Her most cited paper, "Innovation in Breast Surgery: Practical and Ethical Considerations" (2022), has already garnered 5 citations, signaling its growing influence among surgeons and bioethicists alike. In this work, Teller systematically examines the tension between cutting-edge surgical techniques—such as oncoplastic and minimally invasive approaches—and the imperative to uphold patient safety, informed consent, and equitable access. Rather than simply cataloging new procedures, she offers a framework for evaluating innovation through a lens of responsibility, challenging the field to prioritize long-term outcomes over novelty. This contribution positions her at the forefront of a necessary dialogue in surgical practice. Teller’s research is particularly valuable for students and clinicians navigating the rapid adoption of technologies in breast cancer care, as she provides both practical guidance and a moral compass. Her work underscores that true progress in surgery depends not only on what we can do, but on what we should do.
