About
Dr. Caitlin Carr is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with endometrial cancer, particularly through the comparative effectiveness of minimally invasive platforms and lymph node assessment techniques. Her most-cited work, a 2019 study with 36 citations, rigorously examined how surgical platform choice—multiport, single-port, or robotic-assisted laparoscopy—impacts recurrence and survival in endometrial cancer surgery, providing critical data to guide operative decision-making. More recently, her 2023 investigation into sentinel lymph node assessment versus full lymphadenectomy for high-risk endometrial cancer patients (12 citations) has contributed to the ongoing paradigm shift toward less invasive staging, balancing oncologic safety with reduced morbidity. Dr. Carr’s research directly addresses the tension between surgical innovation and evidence-based practice, helping to define best practices for complex cancer care. Her work is widely cited by surgeons and oncologists seeking to tailor surgical approaches to individual patient risk profiles, and she is recognized for advancing the field through rigorous comparative effectiveness studies that translate directly into improved clinical outcomes.
