About
Dr. Nishit Srivastava is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on refining prognostic tools and surgical outcomes in colorectal and gastrointestinal cancers. His most cited work, "Prognostic Nutritional Index Prior to Rectal Cancer Resection Predicts Overall Survival" (2022, 21 citations), addresses a critical gap in the literature by specifically examining the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in rectal cancer patients—a population often treated with preoperative radiation, minimally invasive surgery, and diverting ostomies. This study demonstrates that PNI independently predicts overall survival, offering clinicians a simple, cost-effective marker to guide perioperative risk stratification. Dr. Srivastava’s contributions bridge the gap between nutritional assessment and oncologic outcomes, providing actionable insights for improving patient prognosis. His work has been cited in subsequent meta-analyses and clinical guidelines, underscoring its impact on evidence-based surgical practice. By focusing on understudied patient subgroups, he advances personalized care in colorectal oncology.
