About
Lee‐may Chen is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally shaped how we understand and treat endometrial cancer. Her work focuses on the comparative effectiveness of surgical approaches, particularly the transition from open to minimally invasive techniques. Chen’s most-cited study, a landmark 2012 analysis of over 33,000 patients, rigorously compared the utilization and hospital charges of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgery for endometrial cancer. This work provided critical, real-world evidence on the economic and clinical trade-offs of adopting new surgical technologies, influencing both clinical guidelines and hospital resource allocation. With over 30 citations, this paper remains a cornerstone for researchers and surgeons debating the value of robotic surgery. Beyond this, Chen’s broader portfolio examines disparities in surgical care and long-term outcomes, making her a key voice in the push for evidence-based, equitable cancer treatment. Her research has not only advanced surgical practice but also empowered patients and providers to make more informed decisions about cancer care.
