Dr. Kunstman's research bridges early detection of pancreatic precursor lesions with clinical outcomes post-pancreatic surgery. He leads studies on single-cell markers for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms progression and cyst-forming phenotype genetics. His clinical research revolutionized Whipple procedure practices by reducing nasogastric decompression and improving drain management through multi-institutional collaborations.
Recent publications address peritoneal metastases from neuroendocrine tumors, gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms management, and postoperative mortality factors in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. His work explores surgical outcomes optimization, perioperative electronic consultation models, and pandemic impacts on GI cancer care.
