About
Dr. Mariia Ivanova is a pioneering urologic oncologist and surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, augmented reality (AR), and precision oncology. Her primary research focuses on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through the intraoperative use of advanced imaging and real-time data integration. Dr. Ivanova’s most notable contribution is the design of a Phase 3 prospective randomized trial evaluating the impact of AR during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy on reducing positive surgical margins—a critical factor in cancer recurrence. This landmark protocol, published in 2024 and already garnering 4 citations, introduces a novel methodology combining AR with frozen section analysis to guide surgical decision-making in real time. Her work represents a significant step toward personalized, data-driven surgery, aiming to balance oncologic control with functional preservation. Dr. Ivanova’s research has the potential to redefine standards in minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, and her innovative trial design is being closely followed by the surgical oncology community. She is also recognized for her contributions to surgical education and the development of AR-based training modules for robotic surgery.
