About
Dr. Rebecca Brooks is a leading researcher in gynecologic oncology, with a focus on optimizing surgical outcomes through minimally invasive techniques and enhanced recovery pathways. Her major contributions center on the comparative effectiveness and cost-efficiency of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgery for endometrial cancer. Notably, her 2016 study on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways—cited over 100 times—demonstrated that structured perioperative protocols significantly improve recovery and reduce hospital stays for patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Brooks has also conducted pivotal statewide analyses, including a study of 6,560 cases that revealed a trend toward centralization of robotic surgery in high-volume centers, and another examining utilization and hospital charges for over 2,200 patients. Her work has shaped clinical guidelines by highlighting the economic and clinical trade-offs of surgical approaches, earning her recognition as a key voice in value-based cancer care. With over 160 cumulative citations, Dr. Brooks continues to influence how gynecologic oncology surgery is practiced, balancing innovation with accessibility and patient-centered outcomes.
