About
Dr. Alicia Poplawski is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for esophageal cancer treatment. Her major contribution lies in pioneering the use of robotic surgery to improve outcomes for patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. She is best known for her work on the landmark ROBOT-2 trial, a randomized controlled study comparing robot-assisted minimally invasive thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy to conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy. This highly cited study (101 citations) demonstrated that robotic assistance can enhance lymph node dissection and reduce postoperative complications, setting a new standard in the field. Dr. Poplawski’s research has significantly shaped modern surgical practice, offering patients safer, more precise options for complex cancer resections. Her work continues to influence the integration of robotics into oncologic surgery, making her a key figure in the evolution of esophageal cancer care.
