About
Dr. Marian Johnson is a leading voice in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise on the long-term survivorship and quality-of-life outcomes for women treated for endometrial cancer. Her research critically examines the trade-offs between aggressive surgical staging and patient well-being, particularly regarding lower urinary tract function. In her landmark 2019 study, Dr. Johnson conducted a rigorous retrospective cohort analysis of 74 patients with FIGO Stage I endometrial cancer, specifically investigating the impact of robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy with lymph node dissection on urinary incontinence. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, provides essential evidence for clinicians weighing the benefits of lymphadenectomy against its potential to diminish quality of life. By centering the patient’s lived experience—quantifying how surgical choices affect daily comfort and function—Dr. Johnson’s contributions help refine post-treatment care protocols and inform shared decision-making. Her research bridges the gap between oncologic efficacy and survivorship, ensuring that treatment success is measured not just in survival rates, but in the preservation of a patient’s dignity and well-being.
