About
Dr. Karine Robitaille is a leading clinical researcher whose work bridges nutritional science and surgical oncology, with a particular focus on prostate cancer care. Her research investigates how dietary supplements, especially omega-3 fatty acids, influence surgical outcomes—challenging long-held clinical assumptions. In her landmark 2021 study on omega-3 supplementation and perioperative blood loss after radical prostatectomy, Dr. Robitaille provided critical evidence questioning the routine recommendation to discontinue omega-3s before surgery. This work, which has already garnered significant attention, directly impacts preoperative protocols and patient safety. Her contributions are reshaping our understanding of the balance between the anti-inflammatory benefits of long-chain omega-3s and their theoretical bleeding risks. By generating high-quality clinical data where none previously existed, Dr. Robitaille is helping surgeons and patients make more informed, evidence-based decisions. Her research exemplifies the vital intersection of nutrition and surgical practice, offering practical guidance that can improve both surgical outcomes and long-term patient health.
