About
Jessica A. Kennard is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on refining surgical staging and treatment for endometrial and cervical cancers, particularly through minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in endometrial cancer, demonstrating how primary tumor histology and SLN metastasis size correlate with non-sentinel node involvement—a critical insight for guiding lymphadenectomy decisions. With over 37 citations, her 2019 study on SLN mapping is a cornerstone in the field. Kennard also investigates the implications of mapping failure and SLN symmetry in robotic procedures, contributing to improved surgical accuracy. In cervical cancer, she has examined recurrence patterns and survival following robotic radical hysterectomy, notably addressing the controversial findings of the LACC trial by evaluating how surgical experience may influence outcomes. Her work on carcinomatosis risk factors in early-stage cervical cancer further underscores her commitment to optimizing patient prognosis. Through these contributions, Kennard has helped shape evidence-based guidelines for minimally invasive gynecologic oncology surgery.
