About
Dr. Ibardo Zambrano is a urologic surgeon and health services researcher whose work focuses on surgical disparities, minimally invasive oncology, and population-level trends in cancer care. In a landmark 2019 study published in *Urology*, Dr. Zambrano analyzed national data from 2010 to 2015 to reveal critical disparities in the adoption of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for localized renal cancer. This work, which has garnered 58 citations, demonstrated that while MIS utilization increased over the study period, significant gaps persisted based on patient race, socioeconomic status, and hospital type. By quantifying these inequities, Dr. Zambrano provided actionable evidence for policymakers and clinicians aiming to broaden access to advanced surgical techniques. Their research bridges clinical urology with public health, highlighting how systemic factors shape treatment patterns and outcomes. Dr. Zambrano’s contributions are essential for understanding the real-world implementation of surgical innovation and for designing interventions to ensure equitable cancer care. Their work continues to inform efforts to reduce disparities in urologic oncology.
