About
Dr. Armin Shahrokni is a leading geriatric oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical and cancer care for older adults, particularly those aged 80 and above. His major contributions center on evaluating perioperative outcomes and survival in elderly patients undergoing major procedures, challenging assumptions about age-based treatment limitations. In his most-cited work, "Comparison of short-term outcomes and survival between minimally invasive colectomy and open colectomy in patients 80 years of age and older" (2023), Dr. Shahrokni demonstrated that minimally invasive approaches can yield favorable short-term results and survival in this vulnerable population, providing critical evidence for personalized surgical decision-making. With growing citation impact, his research bridges geriatric medicine and oncology, emphasizing functional status and frailty assessments. Dr. Shahrokni is also recognized for developing innovative clinical programs that integrate geriatric principles into cancer care, advancing the field of geriatric oncology and improving outcomes for older patients. His work continues to shape guidelines and inspire a new generation of researchers to prioritize age-inclusive, evidence-based cancer treatment.
