About
Douglas A. Levine is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of uterine and cervical cancers. His primary focus lies in refining sentinel lymph node mapping—a technique that spares patients the morbidity of complete lymphadenectomy—and in optimizing surgical approaches for high-risk populations, particularly morbidly obese patients. Dr. Levine pioneered the use of indocyanine green and near-infrared fluorescence imaging for sentinel node detection in minimally invasive surgery, a breakthrough documented in his most-cited work (272 citations). He has also systematically evaluated how robotic platforms impact surgical outcomes and costs, demonstrating that robotic surgery can safely expand access to minimally invasive care for obese patients. His contributions include the authoritative *Atlas of Procedures in Gynecologic Oncology*, a standard reference for surgical trainees. With cumulative citations exceeding 450 across his key papers, Dr. Levine’s work has directly shaped clinical guidelines and reduced surgical complications, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of precision, patient-centered gynecologic oncology.
