About
Dr. Michael Method is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally reshaped surgical staging for endometrial cancer. His most impactful work, the landmark FIRES trial (2017), with over 900 citations, provided the first robust, multicenter evidence that sentinel lymph node biopsy could safely replace complete lymphadenectomy for staging. This paradigm-shifting study demonstrated equivalent diagnostic accuracy with significantly reduced surgical morbidity, establishing a new standard of care that spares thousands of women from unnecessary radical surgery each year. Beyond this seminal contribution, Dr. Method’s research focuses on optimizing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving outcomes for uterine and ovarian cancers. His work has been instrumental in translating sentinel node mapping from investigational status into routine clinical practice, directly influencing major treatment guidelines. Dr. Method’s dedication to rigorous, practice-changing clinical trials has made him a pivotal figure in gynecologic oncology, earning him recognition as a thought leader whose evidence has tangibly improved the quality of life for patients facing endometrial cancer.
