About
Marc Nelson’s research bridges two distinct surgical frontiers: the minimally invasive management of gastric adenocarcinoma and the nuanced recovery of sexual function after prostate cancer surgery. His most cited work, a 2019 study on total gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma, critically examines whether the minimally invasive approach offers tangible advantages over traditional open surgery—a question with direct implications for postoperative recovery and oncologic outcomes. With 16 citations, this paper has informed surgical decision-making in upper gastrointestinal oncology. Nelson also contributes to urologic outcomes research, as seen in his 2020 analysis of a statewide claims database, which uncovered significant disparities in the timing of penile prosthesis implantation following radical prostatectomy. By highlighting that many patients with persistent erectile dysfunction do not receive timely surgical intervention, this work underscores critical gaps in post-prostatectomy care and has garnered attention from reconstructive urologists. Together, these studies reflect Nelson’s commitment to improving surgical quality of life across disease sites, leveraging population-level data to expose inequities and refine operative approaches.
