Theresa Kuhn

About

Dr. Theresa Kuhn is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing surgical outcomes for women with gynecologic cancers, particularly through the evaluation of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. Her major contributions center on critically assessing the safety and efficacy of these modern approaches, especially in vulnerable populations. Her landmark 2020 study, cited 79 times, provided pivotal survival outcome data comparing minimally invasive surgery to traditional laparotomy for early-stage cervical cancer, directly influencing clinical decision-making. Dr. Kuhn has also pioneered research on robotic surgery in elderly and frail patients, with her 2018 and 2020 studies (cited 30 and 25 times, respectively) demonstrating its safety and feasibility in these high-risk groups. Her work on malignant peritoneal cytologic contamination during robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer further underscores her commitment to refining surgical techniques to minimize risks. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Kuhn has established herself as a key voice in the safe expansion of robotic surgery, ensuring that technological advances benefit all patients, including the most vulnerable.
