About

Anastasia Jermihov is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on identifying and quantifying disparities in perioperative care following robotic-assisted pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer. Her research critically examines how non-clinical factors—such as socioeconomic status, nutritional status, and geographic access to care—influence surgical recovery and long-term survival. In her most cited study (2022, 4 citations), Jermihov demonstrated that lower socioeconomic status is significantly correlated with poorer perioperative outcomes and survival after robotic lung cancer resection, highlighting systemic inequities in surgical care. She further investigated the prognostic value of postoperative pre-albumin levels (2021, 3 citations), establishing low pre-albumin as a marker for increased complications and prolonged hospital stay. Her work also explores the impact of a patient’s distance from the cancer center (2022, 2 citations), revealing that greater travel distance is associated with worse outcomes. Collectively, Jermihov’s research provides actionable insights for improving perioperative protocols and addressing healthcare disparities, making her a valuable voice in the push toward more equitable, patient-centered surgical oncology.
