Dr. Elena Violeta Coman is a dedicated surgeon and academic professional affiliated with Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Romania. She serves as an Assistant Professor in the 10th Clinical Department of General Surgery and practices at the Bagdasar–Arseni Clinical Emergency Hospital, where she contributes significantly to both clinical care and medical education 

Her scholarly work includes co-authoring the IGMin Research article “Diagnostic Challenges in Pancreatic Tumors,” published in May 2024, which has earned over 14,000 views and nearly 5,000 downloads. 

Demonstrating her active involvement in oncology research, Dr. Coman has also contributed to multiple studies. Notably, she co-authored a 2024 multicenter observation on colorectal cancer treatment strategies featured in Medicina (Kaunas), and earlier participated in animal-model research on bowel obstruction under the Carol Davila team, reinforcing her strong foundation in experimental and surgical pathology.

Beyond pancreatic oncology, her research interests encompass rare tumor identification, such as Meckel diverticulum ossified tumors, and complex soft-tissue malignancies like spindle-cell rhabdomyosarcoma. Dr. Coman’s multifaceted expertise spans gastrointestinal and oncologic surgery, experimental models, and clinical observational studies, reflecting her commitment to advancing surgical science and patient care.

In her dual role as educator and clinician, Dr. Coman mentors medical students and residents, while advancing surgical best practices through her clinical and research endeavors. Her work enriches both the academic environment of Carol Davila University and the quality of emergency general surgery at Bagdasar–Arseni Hospital.

Dr. Elena Violeta Coman’s research interests primarily focus on general surgery, particularly in the areas of gastrointestinal oncology, pancreatic tumors, and colorectal cancer. She is deeply involved in the exploration of diagnostic challenges in gastrointestinal malignancies, with an emphasis on early detection and improving patient outcomes. Her work also delves into rare tumors, such as Meckel diverticulum ossified tumors and spindle-cell rhabdomyosarcoma, which pose significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, Dr. Coman contributes to experimental models for bowel obstruction and other gastrointestinal conditions, aiming to enhance surgical techniques and clinical management strategies. Her studies are geared toward improving surgical interventions in oncology and advancing personalized treatments for cancer patients. Dr. Coman also engages in medical education, mentoring medical students and residents while fostering academic growth in both clinical and research settings, contributing to the continuous development of general surgery practices.
