About
Dr. Valerie P. Grignol is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in breast cancer surgery, particularly through the application of robotic technology. Her major contributions center on the safety, feasibility, and oncologic outcomes of robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (RNSM), a procedure designed to improve cosmetic results and surgical ergonomics while ensuring complete glandular excision. Her prospective pilot study protocol on RNSM, published in 2021, has garnered 13 citations, establishing a foundational framework for subsequent clinical investigations in this emerging field. Dr. Grignol’s work addresses critical challenges in breast cancer treatment, including the technical difficulty of total mammary gland removal in nipple-sparing approaches. By evaluating the safety and feasibility of robotic assistance, she is helping to expand surgical options for patients seeking risk reduction or therapeutic mastectomy with improved aesthetic preservation. Her research bridges the gap between oncologic rigor and patient-centered outcomes, positioning her as a key contributor to the evolution of breast surgical oncology.
