About
Preethi S. Shetty is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastrointestinal cancers, particularly esophageal and gastro-esophageal malignancies. Her major contributions center on evaluating robotic-assisted esophagectomy as a means to reduce the high postoperative morbidity and mortality traditionally associated with esophageal cancer surgery. In her comprehensive 2025 review, co-authored on behalf of TROGSS and EFISDS, Shetty synthesizes evidence to demonstrate that robotic approaches can improve patient outcomes, with the paper already garnering 16 citations shortly after publication. She also contributed to the 2024 update of the ESSO core curriculum for gastro-esophageal cancer management, reflecting her role in shaping international surgical education standards. With a growing citation impact that underscores her influence in the field, Shetty’s work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and clinical practice. Her research not only highlights the potential of robotic surgery to transform esophagectomy outcomes but also establishes her as a key voice in global efforts to standardize and optimize treatment protocols for esophageal cancer patients.
