About
Dr. Nathalie Wong-Chong is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes in colorectal cancer surgery, particularly through the adoption of minimally invasive techniques. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of how laparoscopic and robotic approaches impact patient recovery and long-term survival. In a landmark 2018 study, she demonstrated that minimally invasive surgery for stage III colon adenocarcinoma is associated with less delay to adjuvant systemic therapy and improved survival, a finding with 28 citations that has influenced clinical practice. She further contributed to the field with a propensity score analysis comparing pathologic outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robotic resections for rectal cancer using the ACS-NSQIP database, which has garnered 26 citations. Dr. Wong-Chong’s research provides critical evidence supporting the benefits of minimally invasive approaches, helping to reduce recovery times and enhance oncologic outcomes. Her work is instrumental in guiding surgeons toward more effective, patient-centered care in colorectal oncology.
