About

J. Eva Selfridge is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on the evolution of minimally invasive techniques for colorectal cancer, with a particular focus on robotic surgery. Her most-cited work, "The rise of robotics: Surgical approaches for rectal cancer over time" (2025, 5 citations), critically examines the shift from laparoscopic to robotic methods, highlighting how robotic platforms address the anatomic challenges of the narrow pelvis while weighing persistent concerns about cost, operative time, and oncologic outcomes. Selfridge’s contributions are pivotal in clarifying the mixed long-term safety data from earlier laparoscopic trials, providing surgeons with evidence-based guidance for patient selection and technique optimization. Her scholarship has already influenced clinical decision-making, as reflected in the early citations of her work, and she is recognized for bridging the gap between technological innovation and rigorous oncologic standards. By synthesizing historical trends with contemporary outcomes, Selfridge empowers the next generation of surgeons to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of rectal cancer treatment with confidence and precision.
