About

Steven T. Brower is a leading figure in the surgical management of gastric cancer, with a research focus squarely on advancing minimally invasive techniques. His major contribution is the systematic comparison of robotic, laparoscopic, and open gastrectomy to define the safest and most effective approach. As the driving force behind the IMIGASTRIC study group, Brower established a multi-institutional, prospective database that has generated high-impact evidence, including a propensity score-matched analysis of nearly 1,500 patients. His most cited work (100 citations) demonstrates that robotic and laparoscopic surgery can achieve oncological outcomes comparable to open surgery, with the benefits of reduced invasiveness. Through landmark papers and study protocols, Brower has provided the rigorous data needed to guide the global adoption of these technologies, directly shaping modern surgical standards for gastric cancer.
