About
David A. Fishman is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of endometrial cancer and adnexal masses. His most influential work, a 2013 survival analysis comparing robotic versus traditional laparoscopic staging for endometrial cancer (71 citations), provided critical evidence that robotic-assisted surgery offers comparable oncologic outcomes, helping to establish it as a standard approach. Fishman further refined this field by demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic surgery for complex adnexal masses. In a landmark 2021 study (10 citations), he analyzed the U.S. National Cancer Database to show that minimally invasive hysterectomy is safe and effective for women over 65 with endometrial carcinoma, directly challenging age-related treatment biases. His cumulative work has helped expand surgical access for older and higher-risk patients, with his studies collectively cited over 90 times. Fishman’s research remains essential reading for surgeons seeking to optimize outcomes while minimizing recovery times in gynecologic oncology.
