About

Dr. Maryam Yeganegi is a prominent surgical oncologist whose work bridges the critical intersection of clinical practice and medical ethics. Her primary research focuses on the ethical frameworks guiding cancer surgery, particularly the principle of equipoise in randomized controlled trials. Her most-cited paper, "Ethical Considerations and Equipoise in Cancer Surgery" (2024), has already garnered 24 citations, reflecting its timely impact on how surgeons and researchers navigate the moral complexities of offering experimental versus standard treatments. In this work, Dr. Yeganegi systematically examines the challenges of maintaining genuine uncertainty—a cornerstone of ethical trial design—while respecting patient autonomy and ensuring optimal care. Her contributions have helped refine guidelines for surgical oncology research, emphasizing transparency and patient-centered decision-making. Beyond this seminal paper, her broader scholarship addresses informed consent, risk communication, and the ethical implications of emerging surgical technologies. Dr. Yeganegi’s work is essential reading for clinicians and bioethicists alike, offering a rigorous yet compassionate framework for advancing cancer surgery without compromising ethical integrity.
