About

Dr. Amanika Kumar is a gynecologic oncologist and surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes and survivorship for women with endometrial cancer. Her work centers on two critical areas: refining minimally invasive surgical techniques and addressing obesity-related comorbidities that threaten long-term survival. In her highly cited 2019 study on sentinel lymph node biopsy for robotic-assisted endometrial cancer staging (46 citations), she demonstrated how this targeted approach further improves perioperative outcomes, reducing morbidity while maintaining oncologic safety. Dr. Kumar also pioneered the integration of bariatric surgery with minimally invasive hysterectomy to improve endometrial cancer survivorship (16 citations), recognizing that patients face greater mortality risk from obesity-related conditions than from cancer itself. Her 2018 investigation into visuospatial aptitude testing as a predictor of simulated surgical skill (7 citations) reveals her commitment to surgical education and precision. By bridging surgical innovation with holistic survivorship care, Dr. Kumar’s work has reshaped how clinicians approach endometrial cancer treatment—moving beyond tumor removal to address the underlying metabolic factors that determine patients’ long-term health.
