About

Marc Barahona is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive and robotic surgery for gynecological cancers, with particular expertise in sentinel lymph node mapping, radical hysterectomy, and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. His work has meaningfully advanced the technical and oncological standards of robot-assisted surgical procedures in the management of endometrial and cervical cancers. Barahona's most cited contribution, the COMBITEC study (2021, 19 citations), challenged assumptions about combined tracer protocols for sentinel lymph node detection in endometrial cancer, demonstrating that adding ICG to technetium offers no significant improvement in detection rates. His foundational 2016 paper on robotic infrarenal para-aortic lymphadenectomy (17 citations) provided a detailed technical roadmap and learning curve analysis that has since guided surgical training programs internationally. His multicenter cervical cancer recurrence studies have contributed important outcome data influencing surgical quality benchmarks across Spain and Portugal. Beyond individual studies, Barahona has participated in shaping international surgical consensus, co-authoring ESGE/ESGO/SERGS guidelines and a Delphi-based expert model for robot-assisted hysterectomy, underscoring his standing as a respected voice in standardizing minimally invasive gynecologic oncology practice globally.
