About

Piers Gatenby is a leading surgeon-researcher whose work centers on esophageal cancer treatment, surgical innovation, and the integration of telemedicine into surgical care. His most impactful contribution is the landmark 2014 paper “Surgical treatments for esophageal cancers,” which has garnered 56 citations and serves as a key reference in the field. Published as part of the 12th OESO World Conference, this work provides essential commentaries on the role of nurses in preparing patients for esophageal resection, managing high-grade dysplasia after Nissen fundoplication, and optimizing the trajectory of care for esophageal cancer patients. Gatenby’s research has directly shaped clinical protocols and multidisciplinary approaches to esophageal surgery. More recently, he has explored the frontier of remote healthcare delivery, as seen in his 2018 paper “The robot will see you now?” (9 citations), which demonstrated that tele-ward rounds using videoconferencing are both technically feasible and acceptable to patients. This work signals a forward-looking commitment to improving surgical access and patient experience through technology. With a career bridging traditional surgical excellence and digital health innovation, Gatenby continues to influence how esophageal cancers are treated and how surgical care is delivered in the modern era.
