About
Dr. Anna Beavis is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research centers on refining sentinel lymph node mapping in uterine and cervical cancers, particularly through minimally invasive robotic surgery. Her work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of how obesity—a common comorbidity in these patients—affects the accuracy of lymphatic mapping. In her landmark 2016 study (98 citations), she demonstrated that while obesity presents technical challenges, sentinel lymph node detection remains feasible and reliable using indocyanine green (ICG) with near-infrared fluorescence. This finding has direct clinical implications, helping surgeons tailor their approach to optimize outcomes for higher-BMI patients. Dr. Beavis further established the superiority of ICG over traditional blue dye in robotic procedures (50 citations), and validated its efficacy in early-stage cervical cancer (63 citations). Her cumulative research—with over 200 total citations—has helped shift practice standards toward fluorescence imaging, improving diagnostic precision while reducing surgical morbidity. By systematically addressing technical barriers in sentinel node mapping, Dr. Beavis has made a lasting impact on the surgical management of gynecologic malignancies.
