About

Dr. Laureen S. Ojalvo is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on refining the surgical management of gynecologic malignancies, particularly endometrial and ovarian cancers. Her most-cited work, "The Utility of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in High-Grade Endometrial Cancer" (2017, 18 citations), demonstrates her commitment to advancing minimally invasive, targeted approaches in oncology. By evaluating the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel lymph node mapping in aggressive endometrial cancers, Dr. Ojalvo has contributed to reducing the morbidity of comprehensive lymphadenectomy while maintaining diagnostic precision—a critical balance in high-risk disease. Her research also explores novel therapeutic strategies for ovarian cancer, including the role of immunotherapy and targeted agents. Dr. Ojalvo’s work is characterized by a patient-centered focus, seeking to optimize outcomes through personalized surgical and medical interventions. As a clinician-scientist, she bridges the gap between complex surgical technique and translational research, offering valuable insights for trainees and practitioners navigating the evolving landscape of gynecologic oncology. Her ongoing investigations continue to shape standards of care for women facing these challenging diagnoses.
