About
Amitha C. Sundaram is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing precision surgery for kidney cancer, particularly through intraoperative imaging and minimally invasive techniques. Her major contributions lie in the clinical translation of targeted fluorescence agents to improve real-time tumor visualization during robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. In her landmark study on OTL38—a folate-targeted fluorescent agent—she demonstrated its safety and efficacy in enhancing the intraoperative detection of renal cell carcinoma, a critical step toward reducing positive surgical margins and preserving healthy kidney tissue. With over 11 citations, this work has helped establish a new paradigm for image-guided oncologic surgery. Dr. Sundaram’s research bridges the gap between molecular imaging and surgical practice, offering tangible improvements in patient outcomes. Her achievements reflect a commitment to innovation in urologic oncology, and her ongoing investigations continue to shape how surgeons identify and resect renal tumors with greater precision.
