About
Diogo Torres is a clinical researcher whose work bridges gynecologic oncology and bariatric surgery, with a focus on improving long-term survivorship for women with endometrial cancer. His most cited paper, “Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy and Bariatric Surgery to Improve Endometrial Cancer Survivorship” (2019, 16 citations), addresses a critical gap in cancer care: while surgery cures most early-stage endometrial cancers, patients with class III obesity face higher mortality from obesity-related comorbidities than from cancer itself. Torres’s case study of a 54-year-old woman with type II diabetes illustrates a novel, integrated approach—combining minimally invasive hysterectomy with bariatric surgery—to reduce both cancer recurrence and cardiovascular risk. This work highlights his broader contributions to understanding how surgical interventions can be sequenced to optimize outcomes in high-risk populations. Though his citation count is modest, Torres’s research is pioneering in its call for multidisciplinary survivorship planning, challenging oncologists to consider metabolic health as central to cancer prognosis. His findings are particularly relevant for researchers and clinicians working at the intersection of oncology, obesity medicine, and minimally invasive surgery.
