About

Dr. Peter Dottino is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research has significantly advanced the surgical management of gynecologic malignancies, particularly cervical and endometrial cancers. His work focuses on refining surgical techniques to improve oncologic outcomes while preserving quality of life. Dr. Dottino’s highly cited 2009 review on cervical cancer surgery provided a comprehensive analysis of evolving approaches—from traditional abdominal radical hysterectomy to minimally invasive laparoscopic, vaginal, and robotic methods—and highlighted the nerve-sparing technique that reduces postoperative morbidity. This work has guided surgeons in balancing radicality with functional preservation. His 2015 survey on early-stage endometrial cancer treatment documented real-world practice patterns, revealing variability in surgical staging and adjuvant therapy use, which has informed efforts to standardize care. With over 26 combined citations, these studies underscore his impact on clinical decision-making. Dr. Dottino is also recognized for championing fertility-sparing radical trachelectomy, offering young patients hope for future childbearing without compromising cancer control. His contributions continue to shape the field of gynecologic oncology.
