About

Naven Chetty is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally reshaped surgical practice for women with gynecologic cancers. His primary contributions lie in evaluating the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive surgical approaches, including laparoscopy and robotic surgery, for the treatment of cervical and endometrial cancers. Dr. Chetty is best known for his landmark 2018 study, "Minimally Invasive versus Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer," which has garnered over 1,800 citations. This pivotal work provided critical evidence that, contrary to prior assumptions, minimally invasive radical hysterectomy was associated with poorer survival outcomes compared to the traditional open abdominal approach for early-stage cervical cancer, leading to a paradigm shift in clinical guidelines worldwide. Beyond this, he has advanced the field of sentinel lymph node mapping, notably comparing laparoscopic and robotic techniques using indocyanine green and near-infrared fluorescence imaging to improve staging accuracy in endometrial cancer. Through his rigorous comparative effectiveness research, Dr. Chetty has empowered surgeons with the data needed to make informed, life-saving decisions for their patients.
