About
Dr. Gregg Nelson is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for cervical cancer. As a principal investigator within the Canadian Cervical Cancer Collaborative (4C), his work critically examines the safety and efficacy of different surgical approaches—abdominal, minimally invasive, and vaginal—for early-stage disease. Dr. Nelson’s major contributions include landmark studies that have clarified the oncologic risks of minimally invasive surgery for macroscopic cervical cancer, demonstrating that it can lead to worse outcomes compared to open surgery. His research further shows that preoperative conization may mitigate these risks, and that vaginal surgery offers a safe alternative in select cases. With his most cited paper (2022) accumulating 15 citations, Dr. Nelson’s work has directly influenced clinical guidelines and surgical decision-making. His studies on surgical margin status and residual disease have provided critical insights into patient selection and prognosis. Through the 4C collaborative, Dr. Nelson continues to shape evidence-based practice, improving the safety and effectiveness of cervical cancer surgery across Canada.
