About
Dr. Mary Hollenbeck is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on optimizing lymph node assessment in lung cancer surgery. Her research centers on the critical intersection of surgical technique, quality improvement, and adherence to clinical guidelines, particularly in the context of non-small cell lung cancer resection. Dr. Hollenbeck’s major contributions include identifying provider and procedural factors that influence guideline-concordant lymph node sampling, a key determinant of accurate staging and patient prognosis. Her 2025 study in a statewide quality collaborative demonstrated significant variability in lymph node harvest during sublobar resections, highlighting opportunities for standardization and improved surgical practice. Though her most-cited works are recent, they have already garnered attention for their practical implications in thoracic oncology. By leveraging large-scale collaborative data, Dr. Hollenbeck is helping to bridge the gap between evidence-based guidelines and real-world surgical care, ultimately aiming to improve staging accuracy and long-term outcomes for lung cancer patients. Her work represents a vital step toward more consistent, high-quality surgical oncology.
