About
Dr. Tanvir Hussain is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery, with a particular emphasis on lymph node harvest quality and its prognostic implications. His most-cited work, "Predictors of adequate lymph node harvest during colectomy for colon cancer" (2018, 23 citations), identifies key patient- and procedure-related factors—such as tumor stage, hospital volume, and surgical technique—that influence the retrieval of at least 12 lymph nodes, a critical benchmark for accurate staging and survival prediction. This study has informed clinical guidelines and quality improvement initiatives, helping surgeons refine their approach to colectomy. Hussain’s contributions bridge the gap between surgical technique and oncologic precision, underscoring the importance of meticulous dissection and multidisciplinary collaboration. His research is widely referenced by clinicians seeking to standardize lymphadenectomy practices, and his work continues to shape discussions on surgical quality metrics in colon cancer care.
