About
Dr. Olga Kantor is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on refining surgical techniques for pancreatic and hepatobiliary malignancies, with a particular emphasis on improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive approaches. Her major contribution lies in critically evaluating the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) compared to the traditional open procedure. In her highly cited 2018 study, Dr. Kantor demonstrated that while MIPD is technically feasible, it does not significantly reduce the incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula—a life-threatening complication—compared to open surgery. This work has been cited over 40 times, providing crucial evidence that guides surgeons in patient selection and operative decision-making. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Kantor has published extensively on surgical quality metrics, disparities in cancer care, and the role of neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic cancer. Her research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based practices that balance innovation with patient safety, making her a respected voice in the field of surgical oncology.
