About
Dr. Susanne Lanz is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, renowned for her pioneering work in sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping for endometrial cancer. Her research focuses on refining minimally invasive surgical techniques to improve staging accuracy while reducing patient morbidity. Her most cited study, "Laparoscopic Indocyanine Green Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Endometrial Cancer" (2016, 87 citations), established the feasibility and diagnostic value of using indocyanine green (ICG) during laparoscopic surgery—a critical advancement over the more common robotic approach. In this work, she systematically evaluated detection rates, sensitivity, and false negative rates, providing robust evidence that laparoscopic ICG mapping is both safe and effective. This contribution has helped shape clinical guidelines and inspired further investigation into targeted lymphadenectomy. Dr. Lanz’s work bridges surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, making her a respected voice in the field. Her findings continue to influence how surgeons approach nodal assessment in endometrial cancer, underscoring her lasting impact on gynecologic oncology practice.
