About

Dr. Amy Murphy is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive approaches to gastric cancer treatment, with a particular emphasis on comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques. Her most influential work, the 2019 propensity-matched analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma, has garnered 23 citations and represents a landmark contribution to the field. Using the National Cancer Database, Dr. Murphy demonstrated that robotic-assisted gastrectomy offers comparable oncologic outcomes to laparoscopic-assisted approaches, while potentially improving perioperative metrics. This study has helped guide surgical decision-making for patients with stages I to III gastric adenocarcinoma, providing critical evidence for the adoption of robotic technology in complex gastrointestinal procedures. Her research addresses the pressing need to optimize surgical techniques that balance oncologic efficacy with reduced recovery times and complication rates. Dr. Murphy’s work has been instrumental in shaping contemporary surgical practice, offering clarity on the relative benefits of robotic platforms in gastric cancer surgery. Her ongoing investigations continue to refine minimally invasive approaches, making her a respected voice in the evolution of surgical oncology.
