About
Vianka Marcelino has established herself as a leading voice in the surgical management of gastric cancer, with a focused expertise in comparative effectiveness research. Her most cited work, a 2023 systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials, directly addresses the long-standing debate over optimal surgical approaches for gastric cancer. By rigorously comparing open gastrectomy, laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy, and robotic gastrectomy, Marcelino synthesized evidence from multiple trials to clarify outcomes across these techniques. This landmark study, which has already garnered 44 citations, provides surgeons and oncologists with a high-level, data-driven framework for treatment decision-making. Her contribution is notable for its methodological rigor—employing network meta-analysis to integrate both direct and indirect comparisons—and for its practical impact on clinical guidelines. Through this work, Marcelino has helped advance the field toward more personalized, evidence-based surgical care, offering clarity in a domain where controversy once prevailed. Her research continues to shape how clinicians evaluate minimally invasive versus open approaches, making her a key figure in modern gastric cancer surgery.
