About

Howard D. Epstein is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the management of gynecologic cancers, particularly endometrial cancer. His most cited work, "The safety and feasibility of minimally invasive sentinel lymph node staging using indocyanine green in the management of endometrial cancer" (2018, 13 citations), demonstrates his commitment to improving surgical precision and patient outcomes. Epstein’s contributions center on validating the use of indocyanine green (ICG) for sentinel lymph node mapping, a technique that reduces the need for extensive lymphadenectomy and its associated morbidities. By establishing the safety and feasibility of this approach, his research has helped shift clinical practice toward more targeted, less invasive staging, directly impacting the standard of care for endometrial cancer patients. While his citation count reflects a focused, emerging body of work, Epstein’s findings are pivotal for surgeons seeking to balance oncologic efficacy with quality of life. His efforts underscore a broader trend in gynecologic oncology toward personalized, minimally invasive interventions, positioning him as a contributor to evolving surgical paradigms in the field.
