About
Dr. Fabian M. Johnston is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on the optimization of surgical care for gastrointestinal cancers, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques and health equity. Dr. Johnston’s major contributions include pioneering work on the utilization and comparative effectiveness of laparoscopic and robotic gastrectomy. His landmark 2015 study, cited 27 times, was among the first to characterize the adoption of minimally invasive gastrectomy across U.S. academic centers, revealing significant trends in practice. More recently, his 2024 analyses, including a key study on racial disparities in minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal cancer, have critically examined how access to advanced surgical approaches varies by race and ethnicity. This work has illuminated troubling inequities in surgical care and outcomes, directly informing efforts to improve access for marginalized populations. Dr. Johnston’s research, which has amassed over 30 citations, is vital for surgeons and policymakers striving to ensure that the benefits of modern, less invasive cancer surgery are equitably distributed across all patient populations.
