About

Dr. Ashley Russo is a leading surgical oncologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the global understanding of gastric cancer management. Her work centers on the critical disparities in tumor biology and treatment paradigms between Eastern and Western populations. Dr. Russo’s landmark 2018 study, “Gastric Cancer Etiology and Management in Asia and the West,” which has garnered nearly 200 citations, systematically dissects the differences in screening implementation, surgical lymphadenectomy extent, and neoadjuvant therapy use that drive divergent patient outcomes. This seminal contribution has become a cornerstone reference for clinicians navigating these complex regional variations. Additionally, Dr. Russo has been at the forefront of advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques in the United States. Her 2017 review on the status and future of laparoscopic and robotic approaches for gastric cancer provides a critical roadmap for adopting these technologies to improve recovery and reduce morbidity. By bridging the gap between Eastern and Western surgical philosophies and championing innovation in operative care, Dr. Russo’s work directly informs evidence-based practice and continues to influence the standard of care for gastric cancer patients worldwide.
