Cervical Cancer

An author of several peer-reviewed publications on cervical cancer, Dr. Blumenthal has significantly contributed to screening and prevention of cancer.[6] Notably, he investigated and implemented a simplified means of screening or detecting cervical cancer in low-resource settings.[7]

Dr. Blumenthal has conducted research with many diverse contraceptive methods, most notably, has greatly contributed to long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) literature. He invented a specialized inserter for immediate post-partum intrauterine device (PPIUD) provision.[8] Currently, the dedicated inserter is used in over 10 countries and Dr. Blumenthal is working to expand its use in additional countries. Alike his previous research endeavors, the purpose of this inserter is to expand access and simplify methodology.

Abortion

Specifically, Dr. Blumenthal is committed to simplifying the medication abortion process through the development and testing of multilevel pregnancy tests (MLPTs).[9] Additionally, Dr. Blumenthal has contributed to a number of research protocols seeking to simplify and improve surgical abortion in the first and second trimester through investigation of different pain control, cervical preparation, and surgical techniques.
