About
Jillian Sinopoli is a rising surgical outcomes researcher whose work centers on health policy, cancer care access, and minimally invasive thoracic surgery. Her most impactful study, published in 2022, demonstrated that Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion was significantly associated with increased utilization of minimally invasive lung resection (MILR) for early-stage lung cancer—a procedure known to improve recovery and survival. This paper, with 9 citations, highlights her ability to link national policy changes directly to surgical practice patterns. Sinopoli also investigates the consequences of inaccurate clinical staging in lung cancer, showing that misclassification is common and linked to poorer survival, a critical insight for improving treatment planning. Her comparative work on robotic versus laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair adds depth to her surgical expertise, examining both short- and long-term outcomes. By leveraging large datasets like the National Cancer Database, Sinopoli’s research provides actionable evidence for surgeons and policymakers. Her growing citation record and focus on health equity and surgical quality mark her as a promising voice in thoracic surgery and health services research.
