About

Lue-Yen Tucker is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, health equity, and oncology outcomes within large integrated healthcare systems. Drawing on rich retrospective cohort data, Tucker has made meaningful contributions to understanding how surgical practices evolve over time and how they differ across patient populations. Her widely cited 2017 study examined shifting trends in minimally invasive hysterectomy and power morcellation use, providing critical real-world evidence during a period of significant clinical and regulatory debate surrounding morcellation safety — work that has garnered 25 citations. Building on this foundation, her 2022 research brought an important equity lens to gynecologic surgery, revealing disparities in minimally invasive myomectomy utilization between Black and non-Black women within a large managed care setting, a contribution with 16 citations that underscores the systemic inequities embedded in surgical care. More recently, Tucker has expanded into gynecologic oncology, investigating how surgical route and tumor size influence recurrence risk in early-stage cervical cancer. Across her body of work, Tucker demonstrates a consistent commitment to improving both the quality and equity of women's surgical care through rigorous population-based research.
