Raymond M. Anchan

About

Dr. Raymond M. Anchan is a leading reproductive endocrinologist and surgeon whose research focuses on improving patient-centered outcomes for uterine fibroids, a condition affecting millions of women. He is a principal investigator in the landmark COMPARE-UF (Comparing Options for Management: PAtient-centered REsults for Uterine Fibroids) registry, which has generated over 160 citations across its key publications. Dr. Anchan’s work has been instrumental in comparing the effectiveness of hysterectomy, myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization, providing critical evidence on long-term health-related quality of life and symptom severity. His 2018 registry rationale paper (65 citations) and subsequent 2019 analysis of short-term quality of life after myomectomy (61 citations) have shaped clinical decision-making for fibroid management. Notably, Dr. Anchan has also contributed to the recognition of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) syndrome, identifying atypical fibroids and cutaneous lesions as diagnostic clues. His research bridges surgical innovation with patient-reported outcomes, advancing personalized care in reproductive health.
