Dr. Cortina is highly involved in research and has published numerous manuscripts, including articles in high-impact journals such as The Lancet, JAMA Oncology, JAMA Surgery, and the Annals of Surgical Oncology where he is also a member of the journal’s Editorial Board. His current research focuses on understanding how gender-affirming care may alter cancer risk, screening practices, and treatment recommendations for gender-diverse populations as well as how novel systemic therapies impact surgical decision-making and surgical outcomes for breast cancer patients.
