About
Marcia Levine is a leading voice in surgical oncology and perioperative pain management, with a focused commitment to reducing opioid overprescription after cancer surgery. Her most cited work, "Standardizing Opioid Prescriptions to Patients After Ambulatory Oncologic Surgery Reduces Overprescription" (2020, 24 citations), addresses a critical gap in post-surgical care by demonstrating that standardized, evidence-based prescribing guidelines can significantly curb excessive opioid use without compromising patient comfort. This contribution is particularly impactful in the context of the ongoing opioid crisis, offering a practical, scalable solution for oncology centers. Levine’s research bridges clinical practice and public health, emphasizing data-driven protocols to minimize addiction risk while maintaining effective pain control. Her work has influenced perioperative protocols and sparked broader conversations about responsible prescribing in surgical oncology. With a growing citation footprint, Levine continues to shape safer, more sustainable approaches to pain management, making her a key figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of surgery, oncology, and opioid stewardship.
