About
Marie Plante is a prominent gynecologic oncologist whose research has significantly shaped the surgical management of cervical and endometrial cancers. Based at a leading Canadian institution, her work consistently focuses on refining surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes while minimizing morbidity — a balance that defines modern oncologic care. Plante's most influential contributions center on de-escalating surgical radicality without compromising oncologic safety. Her leadership in the landmark CCTG CX.5-SHAPE trial — an international phase III randomized study comparing radical versus simple hysterectomy in low-risk early-stage cervical cancer — represents a career-defining achievement, already accumulating 26 citations since its 2023 publication and poised to reshape clinical guidelines globally. She has also championed minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques, demonstrating their safety even in morbidly obese endometrial cancer patients and contributing to the Canadian Cervical Cancer Collaborative (4C) working group across multiple studies. Her early work on bowel preparation in gynecologic oncology (30 citations) remains her most-cited contribution, reflecting her broad clinical interests. Collectively, Plante's research has helped establish evidence-based frameworks for fertility-sparing and less radical surgeries, offering patients safer options without sacrificing survival outcomes — a legacy of meaningful, patient-centered innovation.
